I was trying to register for the free Discovery+ package and scanned the QR code provided. It asked for my card details and said I'd be charged if I didn't cancel within 5 days. Have I been scammed?

It's not unknown for dodgy QR apps to redirect a legitimate code to a 'service provider' website which takes card details to set up a (bogus) subscription membership unrelated to the intended destination.

Thanks for the answer. How can this be checked and cancelled?
