These QR codes can be risky. Scammers may use them to mislead users or redirect them to phishing websites designed to steal personal information. The authorities are urging road users to stay vigilant and avoid scanning QR codes or clicking on links from suspicious or unofficial sources.
In an Instagram post, RTA and Parkin emphasized the importance of verifying payment methods before proceeding with any transaction. Users should refrain from entering personal information unless they are certain the payment channel is legitimate.
