Title: "Bait and Switch: The $100,000 Bitcoin 'Inheritance' Scam"

Hey fellow cryptonauts, just got a PM from a 'friend' claiming his granddaddy left him a $100k Bitcoin inheritance. Sounds too good to be true, but he's got the 'proof' - a dodgy-looking QR code and a cryptic message. Has anyone else fallen for this scam or have any tips on how to spot these phishing attempts?
