#How to Use QR Codes with Scan logos

[queerliblib]

Hi! I’m a member of QLL and just purchased a new Libra Color Kobo, but I’m having a hard time connecting to QLL on the device.

Instead of showing the books I already have on hold (in the Libby app), the display reads something like “Tap this screen to make it disappear” with a nearly blank screen -- for some reason, the device isn’t “reading” QLL (though the logo does show up). For reference, my library card registered to QLL is also registered to my local libraries.

I don’t have an Overdrive account since I registered with Libby in 2022 (when they phased out Overdrive in favor of Libby) so I’m not able to log into the device through Overdrive.

(I’m also having a heck of a time trying to get multiple libraries on my one card to connect, but that’s more of a device issue, I think.)

Any insight you can provide on how to connect QLL to the Kobo would be great. Love your library and the way you all provide queer-affirming books that my library often doesn't offer. Thank you!

Hi there!

We’ve got a few fellow Kobo users here at QLL, so we understand your frustration. This is a known issue and a bit of a tricky one, as Kobo doesn’t have native Libby support (something beyond our control!) and since we are technically a private library, we don’t show up in the public library search results on OverDrive’s website to connect to your OverDrive account (also beyond our control, but we’re trying to find a solution!)

It is possible to read QLL books on Kobo, though. You’ll need to log in to QLL directly on your Kobo device. You can see how to do that in Kobo’s help section under the section titled Set up OverDrive on your eReader. basically, you’ve got to:

go to settings, then ‘overdrive'

click ‘add a library’ and search for us

then you have to scan the QR code which appears

login/authenticate from the device you used to scan the code

once you do that it should give you access

Unfortunately, Kobo doesn’t support logging into multiple libraries at once (a decision that baffles us, frankly). If you’d like to switch between library accounts, you’ll need to log out of one and log into the other each time. I know it’s a pain, and I wish I had a better solution.

Hoping this helps. If you run into further issues, email librarian@queerliberationlibrary.org and we'll try to sort things out there

⸻  RAEVIL’S  LIGHTSTICKS  ! 

active since 2016, RAEVIL raised up a storm with their controversial yet very popular debut! during their first two years of promoting, GLASSHOUSE occasionally teased about their upcoming lightstick, but refused to officially announce anything. finally, after almost three years since their debut, the company informed that their first lightstick was in the making.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ — ib. /frmjudy & /venusvity !

EVILBONG VER. #ONE : released on august 15th, 2019.

officially called EVILBONG, RAEVIL's first lightstick was complimented for looking sleek yet fitting their concept to a t. the lightstick features a white dome, with the group's unofficial logo in the centre of a circle surrounded by vines. right underneath the orb, there is a brooch with a 3d serpent design, which fans connected with RAEVIL's second single, SERPENT, which was released a year before. the handle has the group's name engraved into it, and there's an option for NEMESIS to buy a special version where they could submit their name / alias to be engraved at the back of the handle.

after the lightstick dropped, there were so many photos and selfies of members holding it and waving it around with lights turned on. the lightstick's manual came as a mini booklet, with members featured inside, showing how to use the lightstick with different modes. they were made to look like they came out of a comic book, which fans loved to see because it was the first time the group did something so cute since their debut.

MODEL NAME : EVILBONG ( VER. #ONE )

LIGHTSTICK POWER : AAA SIZE x 3EA

USAGE TIME : UP TO 3 HOURS

LIGHT COLOURS : JACK-O'-LANTERN ( #e17958 ) & OUIJA SPIRIT BOARD ( #dcd4d1 ) ー FANDOM COLOURS + TEARS OF BLOOD ( #cd0027 ) FOR DIFFERENT LIGHT MODES

LIGHT MODES : ON + FLICKER + DIMMING + REVERSE + ROTATION + CONCERT MODE + OFF

CONTENT : OUTBOX ( 95mm x 95mm x 300mm ) + STRAP + MINI BOOKLET MANUAL + STICKER SET ( 1EA ) + MEMBER PHOTOCARDS ( 7EA ) + RANDOM MEMBER POLAROID ( 2EA ) + A THANK YOU NOTE FOR PURCHASING ( WRITTEN BY MEMBERS THEMSELVES )

REALBONG VER. #TWO : released on october 30th, 2023.

released on the group's seventh anniversary, REALBONG is significantly more popular than EVILBONG, which says a lot, considering the first lightstick received almost a million pre-orders not even two weeks after being announced. the second one doubled that during the same period, making it the most wanted lightstick from GLASSHOUSE artists. the new design is made to look like a dome cage instead of their simple look and the lights are coming from the crystal inside of the cage, made to look like a torch once turned on. instead of their signature serpent brooch, REALBONG has an intricate design that no one seems to guess correctly as to what it is. the buttons to use the lightstick are in the back instead of the front, are easy to use and fans are able to swing it around with no worries they'll accidentally press the lightstick off.

this time, instead of a booklet manual, the fans received a simple QR code printed on the box, which, upon being scanned, would bring them to GLASSHOUSE's official website, where they'd be able to watch private video instructions of RAEVIL members showing how to turn it on and the modes it has. the idea of getting such an interesting manual received considerable attention, that it prompted someone to leak it on social media for people who don't have their lightstick or are not even their fans.

MODEL NAME : REALBONG ( VER. #TWO )

LIGHTSTICK POWER : AAA SIZE x 3EA

USAGE TIME : UP TO 5 HOURS

LIGHT COLOURS : JACK-O'-LANTERN ( #e17958 ) & OUIJA SPIRIT BOARD ( #dcd4d1 ) ー FANDOM COLOURS + TEARS OF BLOOD ( #cd0027 ) & PALE FACED ( #ffffff ) FOR DIFFERENT LIGHT MODES

CONTENT : OUTBOX ( 100mm x 100mm x 305mm ) + DUST BAG + STRAP + QR CODE + STICKER SET ( 1EA ) + MEMBER PHOTOCARDS ( 7EA ) + RANDOM MEMBER POLAROID ( 2EA ) + A THANK YOU NOTE FOR PURCHASING ( WRITTEN BY MEMBERS THEMSELVES )

[bi-galacticgargleblaster]

Rating election campaign materials that came through my door this morning (alphabetical):

Alba: Fairly standard double sided A5. Front side has a nice pic of the candidate, his name and the constituency clearly visible. There's a bunch of hashtags and a QR code I'm not bothering to scan. Big claims about scottish independence. Back side has a list of 6 priorities, 4 of which are pretty good, 1 of which I'm unsure about, and 1 of which is transphobic. Another QR code I'm not going to scan.

3/10 incredibly middle of the road and generic material, relying on transphobia is bad, about 80% of the space is dedicated to "INDEPENDENCE" with no real elaboration

Greens: No campaign materials

N/A

Labour: Double sided half A4 (split lengthways so it's super long). Front side has pictures of Sunak, Truss, and Johnson with "14 YEARS OF TORY CHAOS IS COSTING US ALL". Back side has more generic anti tory sentiment, a QR code I'm not scanning, a claim that "Tory chaos" has cost me £5,883 (no mention of how they got that number) since 2019, an instruction to "Vote for change. Vote Labour".

1/10 Literally no mention of who the Labour candidate is? Or the name of the constituency? Seems bizarre to have pictures of 3 Tory ex-prime ministers but not even the name of who you're actually putting forward? Entire argument is based on the idea that Labour would be better than the Tories, which seems irrelevent considering the constituency is currently held by SNP?

Lib dems: honestly I nearly forgot to even include them in the list, no campaign materials

N/A

Reform UK: Standard double sided A5. Front side has name of candidate and constituency, as well as pictures of Farage (party leader) and Tice (who is apparently the party chairman). Anti immigration and anti refugee sentiment as expected. "Zero Waiting Lists" - no elaboration. Back side is completely focused on immigration, many links to social media and the party website and phone number

0/10 relies entirely on anti immigration sentiment with no other policies except "Zero Waiting Lists", which is not expanded on at all

SNP: Folded pamphlet which equates to 3 double sides of A5. Side 1: SNP Logo and last name of the candidate. Side 2: Testimonies from a WASPI campaigner, a union rep, a "social justice campaigner", and a doctor (this one focuses on Gaza and is explicitly praising the candidate for showing solidarity with Palestine). Side 3: Candidate in front of scottish flag, 5 generic campaign statements I largely agree with, links to email, phone, website, and socials. Side 4: Candidate in front of building, full name clearly present. "Dear friend," followed by a 20 point plan. Points focus on workers rights, improving benefits, directly helping the local community, ensuring compensation for people affected by 3 major scandals, stopping arms sales to Israel and recognising Palestine as a state. Side 5: Picture of big ben, anti westminster sentiment, 4 steps to address the cost of living crisis. Side 6: Picture of the candidate in a suit. Direct call to re-elect the candidate. Reminder about needing voter ID and when polling stations are open.

9/10 The only material to mention Gaza at all. Only material that included a reminder about needing ID to vote and when you can actually vote. Didn't rely at all on bashing trans people, immigrants, or anyone aside from the Tories (which was restrained to a single line about them crashing the economy). Very little mention of scottish independence, which I thought was strange. Very focused on the positive things they planned to do and clear that it was tailored for this constituency, rather than a generic "Vote for this party" with someone's name slapped on it.

Tories: No campaign materials

N/A

Based solely on campaign materials it's pretty clear who has actually put effort in. Unsurprised to have had nothing from the Tories because they have no chance here, surprised to not hear from the Greens though.

[IDs: Several photos of Cariona reusable menstrual pads, which are black on one side and patterned on the other. /End IDs.]

Oh hey, this is the post that tricked me into funding missionary work!

Y'all should know that this company will try to preach Christianity to you if you order from them and gives a portion of its gross monthly sales to missionaries.

[ID: A card with Cariona's logo on it that says, "Thank you for supporting our small business. Use code water for a free regular pad on your next order over thirty dollars. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee; my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. Psalm 63:1." /End ID.]

[ID: The back of the same card which has two QR codes on it, one labeled "Scan For Our Paperless User Guide" and the other labeled "Scan For God's Message To You." /End ID.]

[ID: A digital About Us page that says, "What Does Cariona Believe? At Cariona, we believe there is a better way to live. A more sustainable, less invasive way, where every choice made is one with the Earth in mind. We're obsessively passionate about it and our mission is to be everyone's go-to for thrifty, innovative and eco-friendly products. The Principles of Plenty (Prov. 3:9-10). Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine... While we do not wish to impose any beliefs on our customers, we at Cariona believe in the "Great Commission" to preach the gospel to all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). We established our store by faith so we give back to God by committing 10% of our monthly gross sales to support carefully vetted churches and missionaries worldwide. To God be the Glory!" /End ID.]

IDK how nobody else in this thread has brought this up. The only place on Cariona's website where any of this is mentioned is at the bottom of their About Us page. It is completely hidden from customers throughout the standard purchasing process and then sprung on you when your order arrives.

They only issue refunds if you can prove that your order arrived incorrect or defective, meaning that you cannot get your money back out of missionary pockets if you learn that that's where your funds went after the fact and are unhappy about it like I was.

Also, a lesser concern but still worth mentioning: They claim that these pads are machine washable. Not once have I run these things through a machine and had them come out looking any cleaner than they did going in. I always have to handwash them. Which is a pretty uncool surprise when you have chronic hand pain.

There are other reusable menstrual pad companies out there that you can buy from instead of this one. Go give your money to a marginally less shady company.

i learned that each woman spends approximately $5,600 on her period over her lifetime (x)

AI-Powered Car Stickering: The Next Big Shift in Vehicle Branding in Dubai

Car branding in Dubai has evolved a long way from simple logos to total vinyl wraps and shiny car stickers that get noticed on the road. Now, however, something even more advanced is coming into the trend : AI car stickering. It may sound like science, but it isn't. Artificial Intelligence is already assisting brands in creating, designing, and implementing better vehicle graphics.

At iCatch Graphics LLC, we’ve always stayed ahead of the trend and AI is the next natural step for creative, intelligent branding on the road.

So, What Is AI Car Stickering?

AI car stickering uses artificial intelligence tools to enhance the design, placement, customization, and even performance tracking of car sticker branding.

Propose optimal sticker design based on your vehicle model

Design personalized sticker layouts that align with your brand within seconds

Try out how various designs would appear on your car virtually

Imagine where to position the sticker to be most visible on the streets

Assist you in A/B testing which sticker layout generates more calls, clicks, or interaction

This is what AI is introducing into vehicle branding.

How AI is Revolutionizing the Game in Dubai

Here in Dubai, where branding is conspicuous and there are premium cars on every road, design and precision do matter. Here's how AI tools are making car sticker branding even better:

1. Quicker, Smarter Design

Thanks to AI-driven software such as Adobe Firefly or Midjourney, companies can create sticker designs that are new, cool, and distinctive. Rather than investing hours thinking up an idea, AI can present dozens of ideas in a matter of minutes grounded on your brand aesthetic, color palette, and message.

At iCatch Graphics, we utilize AI-created mockups so clients can see how their vehicle will appear even prior to the printout of a single sticker.

2. Ideal Fit for All Vehicles

All cars aren't created equal. A design that is excellent on a sedan may not be ideal for an SUV or van. AI technology can now resize sticker designs to various types of vehicles in an instant, so they fit perfectly and look exactly where they should no more guesswork or experimentation.

3. Branding with Numbers

AI can further study local traffic patterns and recommend where in the vehicle is most visible by driving behavior in Dubai. In high-traffic areas, for instance, rear window signage would be more noticeable than side panels. That means your sticker is not only noticed, it's recalled.

4. Stickers Personalized at Scale

Wanting every car in your fleet to be a tiny bit different, AI enables mass production of bespoke stickers that were previously too costly or labor-intensive to create individually.

Affordable Employee Identification Card Services in the UK

Finding affordable employee identification card services in the UK can really be a game-changer for businesses aiming to boost security without breaking the bank. Many companies struggle with expensive, complicated processes, but there are reliable providers offering high-quality ID cards at wallet-friendly prices.

These services often include customised designs, quick turnaround times, and durable materials that stand up to daily use. It’s surprisingly easy to get started and ensure every staff member has a professional badge that reflects your brand’s identity clearly. For anyone looking to streamline their employee identification needs efficiently and affordably, checking out badge printing is definitely worth it!

Why Employee Identification Cards Matter for UK Businesses

Employee identification cards are more than just a simple accessory; they are a vital tool that every UK business should embrace. These cards allow staff identity to be quickly and accurately verified, drastically reducing security risks within the workplace. Imagine a busy office or a warehouse where only authorised personnel are allowed access – ID cards make it easy to enforce these boundaries, preventing unauthorised entry and protecting sensitive areas. Beyond security, ID cards project a polished, professional image that builds trust with clients and visitors alike, showcasing your commitment to organisation and safety. They also play a crucial role in accountability: by integrating with timekeeping systems, they streamline payroll and track attendance effortlessly, so managers can focus on what truly matters.

In emergencies, clear identification helps responders act swiftly, identifying employees without confusion. Additionally, well-designed cards that feature your company logo and colours reinforce brand identity, making your team instantly recognisable. Distinguishing staff from contractors and visitors becomes straightforward, creating a safer environment for all. Paired with visitor badges, employee ID cards simplify visitor management, ensuring every person on site is accounted for. Finally, many industries require compliance with specific regulations around identification and security – employee ID cards help businesses meet these standards efficiently. In short, employee ID cards are indispensable for enhancing security, professionalism, and operational efficiency in any UK workplace.

Top Features of Professional Employee Identification Cards

Professional employee identification cards are designed to withstand the daily hustle of the workplace, often crafted from durable PVC to resist wear and tear. Clear photo and name printing make recognising staff instant and reliable, cutting down on impersonation risks. Many cards now include barcodes or QR codes, speeding up scanning and data access during busy operations. For businesses with security needs, magnetic stripes or RFID chips integrate smoothly with access control systems, keeping premises safe. Customisable layouts allow companies to spotlight essential details like job roles or departments, while colour coding visually separates teams or access levels at a glance.

Security features such as holograms and watermarks protect against forgery, and lamination shields cards from fading, scratches, and moisture, keeping them looking sharp for longer. Some advanced cards incorporate smart technology, enabling extra functions like cashless payments within the workplace. Including emergency contact information on the card is a thoughtful touch that can prove invaluable during urgent situations. Altogether, these features ensure employee ID cards are not just badges but vital tools for security, identity, and efficiency.

How to Find Affordable Employee ID Card Services

Services that provide free design templates or easy online customisation tools can save both time and money. Turnaround time is another crucial factor; choose providers who deliver promptly without imposing rush fees. Don’t overlook shipping costs, select suppliers offering free UK delivery to avoid unexpected expenses. Reading customer reviews helps ensure that the affordable options you consider are reliable and deliver consistent service.

Ask about card durability guarantees to prevent frequent replacements, which can add up quickly. Additionally, find out if reprinting lost or damaged cards is available at discounted rates. Going local with UK-based companies like badge printing can reduce shipping delays and avoid extra import fees, making the whole process smoother and more cost-effective.

In healthcare, ID cards are crucial for controlling access to sensitive areas and patient records, ensuring only authorised personnel can enter. Retail businesses rely on these cards to clearly identify staff and help prevent theft, creating a safer environment for both employees and customers.

Manufacturing plants use ID cards not only for verifying staff but also for enforcing safety compliance and restricting entry to hazardous zones, which is essential for workplace safety. Educational institutions issue ID cards to students and staff to verify identity, manage library access, and maintain campus security. In hospitality, ID cards help identify staff quickly and restrict entry to private or secure areas, improving overall service and safety. Corporate offices often integrate employee ID cards with attendance tracking and visitor management systems, streamlining daily operations and boosting accountability. Transportation services depend on ID cards to secure employee access to vehicles and facilities, as well as track working hours accurately.

Government agencies require ID cards for maintaining strict security clearance and controlling access to sensitive locations. Event management companies use temporary ID cards to identify staff and volunteers easily during events, ensuring smooth coordination.

How to Spot Real vs. Fake Nike Shoes: A Sneakerhead's Guide

Nike is one of the world’s most iconic and in-demand sneaker brands—so it’s no surprise that counterfeit Nike shoes are everywhere, especially in online marketplaces and unofficial stores. If you're shopping for Nike shoes in Kuwait (or anywhere online), it's essential to know how to spot the real deal. Here’s a simple guide to help you identify genuine Nike shoes and avoid fakes.

1. Check the Box First

Real Nike shoes always come in high-quality boxes:

The box should have clear, sharp printing.

Look for the correct label with model name, size, barcode, and style number.

Fake shoes often come in flimsy boxes, or none at all.

Pro Tip: Cross-check the style number on the box with the official Nike website.

2. Inspect the Logo Carefully

Nike’s logo is one of the most copied features, but fakes often get it slightly wrong:

Swoosh shape should be smooth and perfectly curved.

No loose stitching or misalignment on the logo.

Watch out for logos that are too thick, too thin, or off-center.

3. Quality of Stitching

Genuine Nike shoes are made with precision:

Neat, even stitching across all panels.

No glue marks, loose threads, or gaps.

Fake shoes often have messy stitching, especially around the heel and tongue.

4. Smell Test

Sounds strange—but real Nike shoes have a neutral, clean smell from quality materials. Counterfeit ones may smell of strong glue, rubber, or chemicals due to cheap production methods.

5. Check the Insole & Labels

Real Nike shoes have brand tags inside the tongue with size, barcode, and “Made in” country.

The QR code or serial number should match the one on the box.

Fake ones may have blurry printing, mismatched codes, or even misspelled words!

6. Use the Nike App or Website

If you're unsure:

Visit Nike’s official website and search by product code/style number.

Or scan the QR code on the label using your phone to verify authenticity.

7. Where You Buy Matters

Always buy from:

Official Nike stores in Kuwait

Trusted outlets like Foot Locker, JD Sports, or sportswear chains

Verified online sellers or marketplaces (with return policies)

Avoid deals that sound “too good to be true” from Instagram pages, WhatsApp sellers, or unverified shops.

Final Tip:

Nike shoes are an investment in comfort, performance, and style. Don’t risk wasting your money on fakes. Always double-check the details and shop smart.

QR Code Advertising: Bridging Offline and Online Marketing

QR codes have evolved from simple scannable links into dynamic tools for digital marketing. As mobile usage continues to dominate consumer behavior, QR code advertising has become an essential strategy for brands looking to bridge the gap between offline and online engagement.

What is QR Code Advertising?

QR code advertising is the practice of using QR codes in promotional materials—like posters, flyers, packaging, billboards, or TV ads—to drive traffic to digital destinations. When scanned with a smartphone, these codes instantly connect users to websites, videos, product pages, or exclusive offers.

Unlike traditional ads that require users to remember URLs or search online, QR codes offer instant access—making them a frictionless gateway to digital experiences.

Why QR Codes Work in Advertising

Convenience: Scanning a QR code is faster than typing a link or searching manually.

Interactivity: They invite users to take action—scan to learn more, buy now, follow on social media, or redeem a discount.

Versatility: QR codes can link to anything—product demos, signup forms, reviews, or even AR experiences.

Trackability: With platforms like IMQRScan, advertisers can track scan data such as location, time, and device type, helping optimize campaigns in real-time.

Best Uses of QR Code Advertising

Print Media: Magazines, newspapers, brochures

Outdoor Advertising: Billboards, posters, bus stops

Product Packaging: Directing buyers to usage instructions, recipes, or loyalty programs

Retail Displays: Linking to inventory, size charts, or digital catalogs

Event Marketing: Instant registration, feedback forms, or social sharing links

How to Create a QR Code for Advertising

Platforms like IMQRscan make it easy to create branded, trackable QR codes. You can customize the design to include colors, logos, and call-to-action text, increasing visibility and engagement.

Final Thoughts

QR code advertising is more than a trend—it’s a smart, scalable way to enhance your marketing strategy. Whether you're a small business or a global brand, using QR codes lets you engage audiences where they already are—their smartphones—while gaining real-time insights into their behaviors.

Why Every Professional Needs a Business Card in 2025

As technology evolves, the way we connect continues to shift. We’re used to virtual meetings, LinkedIn connections, and online portfolios. Still, there’s one timeless networking tool that never loses relevance: the business card.

At Shop Creative Hub, we believe that business cards are not just a formality—they’re a powerful extension of your personal and professional brand. Let’s explore why business cards continue to matter in 2025 and how they can boost your brand visibility.

The Timeless Importance of Business Cards

Some may wonder: Why invest in business cards when digital tools are everywhere?

The answer lies in the human experience.

✅ 1. First Impressions Are Physical

A handshake and a business card still feel more personal than a LinkedIn request. That tactile moment when you hand someone your card creates a memorable interaction—one that can’t be replicated with a phone screen.

✅ 2. Branding in Your Pocket

Your business card is a miniature version of your brand. From your logo and font to your colors and layout, your business card conveys your identity at a glance.

✅ 3. Offline Opportunities Matter

Not every opportunity comes through a screen. From local meetups and conferences to coffee shop conversations, a business card helps you turn spontaneous encounters into lasting connections.

What Should a 2025 Business Card Include?

While traditional elements remain, modern business cards often include features that blend the physical and digital. Here's what we recommend at Shop Creative Hub:

Full Name & Job Title

Business/Brand Name

Phone & Email

Website or Portfolio

Logo & Tagline

QR Code to Digital Profile

Including a QR code allows people to scan and instantly access your social media, resume, or booking page—merging offline interaction with online convenience.

Business Cards for Every Industry

No matter your profession, a thoughtfully designed business card can help you grow your network and build credibility. Here are some examples of how different professionals use business cards effectively:

👩‍⚕️ Doctors and Healthcare Providers

Doctors use elegant, formal cards with credentials clearly displayed. A clean layout builds trust and reassures patients of your professionalism.

💻 Freelancers and Creatives

Designers, photographers, and writers often opt for bold, artistic business cards. This shows off their creative style and helps attract the right clients.

🏢 Corporate Professionals

In the corporate world, sleek business cards with a premium feel are essential. Matte finishes, subtle embossing, and simple layouts work best here.

🏪 Small Business Owners

If you run a retail shop, salon, or local service, a business card with your contact info, address, and discount offer can bring repeat customers.

Business Card Trends to Watch in 2025

At Shop Creative Hub, we keep up with design trends to ensure your cards stay modern and effective. Here are some popular styles we recommend this year:

🔹 Minimal Design

Less is more. Clean layouts with lots of white space make information easier to read and highlight your most important details.

🔹 Bold Typography

Make your name and title pop with stylish yet readable fonts. A powerful font can make your card look professional and confident.

🔹 Eco-Friendly Materials

Go green with recycled paper or biodegradable cards. This is a great way to show your brand’s values and appeal to environmentally conscious clients.

🔹 Interactive Cards

Cards with QR codes, NFC chips, or even scannable AR links are making waves. These take your card beyond ink and paper, giving it a tech-savvy edge.

Here’s a List of Fake Crypto Apps You Need to Uninstall Immediately

The crypto world is full of exciting opportunities — but it’s also crawling with scams and fake apps designed to steal your funds or personal data. As crypto adoption grows, cybercriminals are releasing more apps that mimic popular wallets and exchanges to fool unsuspecting users.

These malicious apps look real, work fast — and then vanish with your assets.

To help you stay safe, we’ve listed some of the most dangerous fake crypto apps and introduced a trusted alternative: UPB Bank – a crypto payment platform focused on user safety and real-time protection.

🚨 Why Fake Crypto Apps Are a Real Threat

Fake apps are often disguised as trusted platforms, but behind the scenes, they can:

Steal your wallet seed phrases

Capture your login credentials

Trick you into depositing funds into scam wallets

Install spyware on your device

These apps are targeting both Android and iOS users, and are increasingly found even in official app stores. That’s why users must verify every app before using it.

🛑 Fake Crypto Apps You Must Uninstall Right Now

Here are some well-documented fake crypto apps and scam clones you should delete immediately if found on your device:

1. Fake MetaMask Apps

Cloned apps using the same logo as MetaMask

Ask for seed phrases on launch

Once entered, your wallet is emptied within minutes

2. Trezor Wallet Lookalike

Claims to be the mobile version of the Trezor hardware wallet

Phishing app that mimics Trezor UI

No official Trezor app available for mobile

3. CryptoRom Scam Apps

Fake apps used in romance scams

Appear as crypto trading platforms with love story backdrops

Users are lured to deposit funds and then ghosted

4. Fake Binance Apps

Slight name changes like “Binanse Pro”, “Binancce”

Steal login data and redirect to malicious websites

5. Trust Wallet / Phantom Wallet Clones

Cloned UI that tricks users into revealing recovery phrases

Some even simulate fake “token airdrops” to attract victims

🧠 Case Study: Why You Must Stay Alert

In a recent case, a user downloaded what looked like a “Trust Wallet Pro” app on Play Store. Within minutes of entering the seed phrase, funds worth over ₹1.5 lakhs were gone. Another user fell victim to a Binance clone — with the same interface, trading features, and even fake KYC. The deposits were siphoned off to a scammer's address.

🔐 How to Protect Yourself from Fake Apps

Here are tips from UPB Bank’s safety team to protect your crypto wallet:

✅ Download from verified sources only (always check the app’s official website) ✅ Never share your seed phrase – even if prompted by an app ✅ Use 2FA (two-factor authentication) wherever possible ✅ Cross-check app reviews, developer names, and download counts ✅ Install only audited wallets like UPB, designed with built-in scam detection and verified QR code payments ✅ Avoid apps that promise high rewards, giveaways, or airdrops with upfront deposits

🔒 Why UPB Bank is the Safer Alternative

With so many fake apps targeting users daily, platforms like UPB Bank are taking crypto safety to the next level.

Here’s how UPB protects you:

✅ KYC-enabled login: Adds a real identity layer to crypto payments

✅ No seed phrase storage: Your private data is never stored or requested

✅ UPI-style QR payments: Send/receive crypto using secure, scannable QR codes

✅ Multi-layered authentication for wallet access

✅ Global compliance and audits ensure your data is safe

🚫 What to Do If You’ve Installed a Fake App

If you think you’ve downloaded a suspicious app, do this immediately:

Uninstall the app

If you've entered your seed phrase, transfer funds to a new wallet ASAP

Reset passwords on exchanges and wallets

Scan your device with a mobile antivirus tool

Report the app to Google/Apple stores

📣 Final Thoughts

As crypto adoption rises, so does the number of fake apps and digital traps. Don’t fall for scams that look legit. Always verify what you're downloading and where it's coming from.

And remember — when it comes to safe crypto payments, UPB Bank stands out with a platform built for trust, speed, and protection.

🔗 Stay Smart. Stay Secure. Stay UPB Safe.

How Label Printers Help Tanzanian Businesses Work Smarter

In Tanzania’s busy business world, working efficiently isn’t just a bonus—it’s a must. Whether you run a small shop, a factory, or a growing brand, having the right tools can make all the difference. One tool that many businesses overlook is the label printer. Believe it or not, label printers in Tanzania are helping local businesses save time, cut costs, and stay organized.

What’s a Label Printer, Anyway?

Simply put, a label printer is a machine that prints stickers or tags you stick on products, packages, or boxes. These labels can have all kinds of info — prices, barcodes, logos, or instructions. What makes label printers special is they print durable, clear labels that won’t smudge or fade easily, which is perfect for all kinds of products.

Why Label Printers Make a Big Difference

If you’ve ever had to write or stick labels by hand, you know how slow and tricky it can get. Hiring someone to print labels outside can also slow things down or get expensive. Having a label printer right on-site can completely change how your business operates:

Speedy Printing: You can print labels right when you need them. No waiting for outside printers means you’re not stuck if plans change last minute. Print a few or hundreds — it’s all up to you.

Fewer Mistakes: When you print labels by hand or guess details, errors happen — wrong prices, missing info, or mixed-up products. Label printers connect to your inventory system, so everything is accurate every time.

Save Money: Buying pre-printed labels or outsourcing can add up. Print only what you need, which cuts down waste and lowers costs.

Look Professional: Good labels help your products stand out. With label printers, you can add your logo, colors, and designs easily to build your brand’s look.

Better Inventory Control: Labels with barcodes or QR codes make tracking products easy. Scan to update stock info, avoid mistakes, and keep everything running smoothly.
