Danger - If you see this pop up it may not take you for Ford. It could be a scam/virus and take you to a fake site. DO NOT scan or follow the QR code without checking where you're landing.

Update: If you use the QR code make sure you land on the official Ford Accessories web site before doing anything. Check the address bar. Last night it took me to a fake Ford page.

NOTE: Last night this link took me to a fake web site. Be careful. If you use the QR code make sure that it's taking you to the official Ford accessories web site. Check the address bar before you do anything. It should take you to: https://accessories.ford.com

What site were you on when you got the pop-up? Hopefully not an official Ford site.

No, it was a .de site asking for my name address, username and password. Looks like I got redirected to a non-ford site. Definitely not accessories.ford.com.
