QR Code Front Desk Verification Script
Use this wording when a customer, patient, resident, visitor, or donor asks whether a QR code is real. The goal is to pause risky actions, verify facts, and avoid unsupported promises.
Script blocks
When someone asks if a QR code is real
Let us check that before you enter payment, login, or personal information. Please show us where you found the code and the page it opens.
When the code is approved
That QR code should open [approved destination]. You can also type [official URL] or use [official app] if you prefer not to scan.
When the code is not recognized
Please do not use that QR code yet. We need to verify the destination and remove the sign if it is not one of ours.
When someone already entered information
Save the page, receipt, message, and QR code photo. We can document the report and direct you to the official support path.
Facts to document
- Location of the QR code, such as counter sign, receipt, flyer, door, email, or text.
- Photo of the code and any surrounding sign or message.
- Visible destination URL and whether it asked for payment, login, download, or permissions.
- What the person entered or paid after scanning.
- Who removed the code, checked the destination, or escalated the report.
Pair this with the QR Code Incident Email Template for Customers and QR Code Audit Log Template.
Claims to avoid
- Do not say a code is guaranteed safe.
- Do not diagnose hacking, malware, or a breach from a scan alone.
- Do not promise reimbursement or legal outcomes.
- Do not tell people to ignore bank, card, or account-security warnings.
