Scope: QR requests in TronLink
TronLink's fake-QR-code advisory describes codes that send users to a phishing page or an approval request instead of the transfer they expected. The important checkpoint is the action displayed after scanning. A QR image is a way to carry information, not proof that its destination or request is legitimate.
Match the screen to your intention
If you intended to pay an address, inspect the full recipient, asset and amount on the transfer screen. If the code instead opens a website, asks for a token allowance or proposes an account-permission change, stop and ask why that authority would be needed. Verify the recipient through a channel you already trust.
When the code came from a giveaway
An airdrop poster can use the same visual shorthand as a payment request. Do not infer that a familiar logo makes the scan safe, and do not approve an unrelated operation merely to reveal a promised reward. Keep a copy of the poster and destination details when reporting it. Scanning, opening a page and confirming a transaction are separate actions; describe which occurred when seeking help so the response matches the actual exposure.
