Alert: QR codes parking meters scam


Recommended Posts

Sheffield City Council has posted an alert via E/mail (latest Sheffield News) stating -

Parking at our machines is paid for with a bank card, cash or by the PaybyPhone app.

If you see a QR code sticker on a machine, please don’t scan it! Criminals are placing stickers on machines to steal your money.

Maybe you should check what other similar councils in large cities and the private sector are charging, you might then see that SCC’s prices are cheaper.
 

 Leeds and Manchester both charge more and they have time limits on your stay, which Sheffield don’t have.
