Car parking QR code scam warning
Published on
Car park users are warned not to scan any QR codes on parking machines or signs in council car parks.
Bogus QR code stickers have been found in council car parks, sending users to a fraudulent cloned website that requests credit card details and other personal data.
Users are advised not to scan any QR codes or barcodes they see on parking machines or signage.
To pay for parking online, download the genuine PaybyPhone (PBP) parking app directly onto your phone or pay by cash or card where available. Be careful when paying online and make sure you are using the genuine app.
