To add to that: avoid even searching for a bitcoin-specific QR generator, just use a general purpose one if you must. You're less likely to find scams that way.

<p>The following URL is self explanatory. It is trying to generate a QR code requesting 0.005BTC at the shown address</p>

<pre><code>http://www.btcfrog.com/qr/bitcoinPNG3.php?address=31oLAAQDmuRAGfkviHPDXFgV15To4idott&amp;size=200&amp;label=xx&amp;message=yy&amp;amount=.005
</code></pre>

<p>This generates the QR code below</p>

<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/RlXDM.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/RlXDM.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>When this QR code is scanned with any wallet of your choice the receiving address switches to something else! The address is clearly owned by someone and has several transactions.</p>

<p>Is it hacked or I'm doing something seriously wrong?</p>
