We wanted to bring to your attention an alert regarding a fraudulent QR code parking
payment scheme that is targeting motorists, in Lancashire and surrounding areas.
Recently, there have been reports around the country of scammers placing fake QR codes on
parking meters. These QR codes lead unsuspecting drivers to unauthorised payment sites
where they are prompted to input their personal and financial information. Unfortunately,
this has led to instances of identity theft and financial loss.
To safeguard yourselves and others from falling victim to this scam, I urge you to take the
following precautions:
1. Verify QR Codes: Before scanning any QR code for parking payment, carefully examine it
for authenticity. Look for any signs of tampering or irregularities.
2. Use Official Payment Methods: Stick to using official payment methods provided by
legitimate parking authorities or apps. Avoid making payments through unfamiliar QR codes
or websites.
3. Stay Vigilant: Be on the lookout for any suspicious behaviour around parking meters, such
as individuals tampering with them or loitering nearby.
4. Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter any suspicious QR codes or witness suspicious
behaviour related to parking payments, please report it to the authorities immediately.
By staying informed and vigilant, we can collectively combat this fraudulent scheme and
protect ourselves and others from falling victim to financial scams.
Kind regards, Dave Pattinson.
