Used a QR code scanner on http://qr.kaywa.com/?s=8&d=tel%3A%2A%252306%2523 (QR Code of tel:*%2306%23) - was picked up as a telephone number QR code by some barcode scanning app I have. Clicked dial number. Showed IMEI. Yeah, this would probably work.

Using the app Scan[1] it immediately showed the IMEI without promt. I'm not going to scan any QR codes of unknown origin any time soon.
