QR codes are great. Make a website that pays money to your bank account when people enter their credit card details and leave the QR code on top of other QR codes like the ones to pay for parking.

Its a crazy simple scam. Sure you might not fall for it but someone will.

That is a terrible scam, you will be caught in days when people go to court because they were towed when they paid on that site, and banks might well track you down out of spite.

Oh wow I just replied that QR codes for stuff like menus is nice, but for paying ? That is a terrible idea lol. Never seen one in the wild though.

In the UK a lot of them take you to a site that you order the food from and that includes payment. Replacing it with your own QR code is very easy.
