None of this has anything to do with QR codes. A QR code can no more read your data than a URL written on a piece of paper. Scanning a QR code is completely benign unless using software that automatically follows links. I don't know of any such software.
Someone suggested to NOT scan the QR, seems it can glean info from your phone
A QR code can do nothing of the sort. It's literally just text encoded in a block like a UPC code.
If you're scanning QR codes and blindly clicking on any links they might contain, well that's on you.

Dude, they can actually read you mind when you stare at your phone screen. Don't fall for their tricks.
Exactly the same as any other URL and not at all related to QR codes.
Then whoever posted that was also wrong.
