Legitimate restaurant
You are about to pay. The QR looks real.
“You are at a restaurant. You scan the QR code on the table to pay. The page that loads looks exactly like the payment provider you always use — same colours, same layout.”
A printed sticker over a real QR code costs almost nothing to make. Your phone has no way to warn you. Afensia shows you where it actually leads before anything opens.

Where fake QR codes show up.
Restaurant payment
A scammer replaces the real QR code on your table with a printed sticker. You would pay a fraudulent merchant instead of the restaurant.
Parking meter
A fake "pay here" QR code sticker is placed over the real one. You enter your card details on a scam site instead of the parking authority.
Delivery notice
A fake redelivery QR code is sent by text or left in your letterbox. It leads to a credential harvesting page.
Poster or flyer
An event flyer or shop window poster carries a QR code that has been replaced with a malicious one without the business knowing.
