What to Do If a QR Code Opened a Calendar Booking Page

If the booking page opened but you did not submit anything

1. Close the page or leave it open only long enough to inspect the domain.
2. Do not enter a password, payment card, insurance details, or ID upload.
3. Verify the appointment through the official website, app, phone number, or front desk.
4. Use the official scheduling path if you still need to book.
