Which scanning application do you use? That app intercepts and re-directs to a fake site. The code itself is fine.

Instead, just use the Apple Photos app on iPhone to scan codes, to avoid infestation.

On third party mobile devices, see if the standard photography app is able to handle bar codes and QR codes.

I use a QR code app. I haven’t had an issue until today. I have used it in the past with Apple on my LG tv with no problem. Appreciate your recommendation
