HOW TO CREATE REAL-TIME AI VOICE AGENT

YOU SHOULD KNOW

QR codes are increasingly popular for accessing menus, deals, and more, but many overlook that they often just lead to website links.

While phones may preview the link, people often click without reading.

Yet, websites can be used for various purposes beyond displaying content.

One risk is fake websites mimicking legitimate ones to steal information.

For instance, a QR code could lead to a fake Amazon site, tricking users into revealing login credentials.

This tactic may become more common, so always verify the URL before scanning QR codes.

THATS A WRAP
