The risk of a QR code is that you cannot see the address
Scanning a code is just opening a link, except you skip the step where you read the address first. So the rule reduces to one thing: after scanning and before typing anything, read the address in full.
What to prepare before you start
These five things cover almost every delay people run into: Identify the source: official material, an official page, or something forwarded by someone.
Use a scanner that previews the link instead of jumping straight away. Plan to check the domain after the redirect before going further.
On older phones, confirm the scanner does not auto-open links.
Three rules for scanning
If any one of these is violated, stop: Look before opening: expand the full link and confirm the official primary domain.
Source matters: only scan codes published on official pages, official material or verified accounts. No sensitive input on a scanned page: log in and withdraw only through entrances you saved yourself.
Go slower when a "limited-time offer" is pushing you; urgency itself is a standard tactic.
Fees, limits and processing times
Numbers change from time to time, always confirm on the official fee page before you commit size: Official entry: type binance.com yourself or use your own bookmark, then check the padlock and the exact spelling before typing any password.
App install: search the publisher name "Binance" on App Store / Google Play, or pull the APK from the official download page rather than a third-party store. Turn on Google Authenticator or a hardware key, then add withdrawal address whitelisting and an anti-phishing code to every email you receive.
Review the device list periodically, and use the global lock if you ever suspect a session is still active somewhere else. In-app chat is usually the fastest channel for account issues, and the help centre holds step-by-step articles for most problems.
For anything touching funds, open a ticket and keep the case number; never share passwords, codes or seed phrases with anyone claiming to be support.
The Binance-specific part
Binance campaign QR codes are published alongside announcements, so you can confirm the campaign exists on official pages. The in-app scanner shows the destination address, which is easier to verify than the system camera.
Frequently asked questions
Does the platform itself use QR codes
Yes, on physical material and campaign pages, always with the official domain and a clear description.
Is it normal to land on a download page
Fine if the domain is official; otherwise close it and search the app store instead.
How do I know a code was not pasted over
Stickers pasted over physical material are a known trick, so cross-check against the announced campaign details.

Do not scan codes sent privately, especially ones promising rebates or gifts. If a scanned page asks you to install a package, go back to the official app channel.
