Police says don’t fall for these scam QR stickers if you’re parking in Wellington (Photo of fake sticker attached).
“We’ve received complaints of fraudulent parking QR codes stuck around meters in Wellington.
“The QR code sends people to input seemingly legitimate details about anticipated parking time and license plate, then to a payment section. They might look legitimate but aren’t and are scamming people parking on the roads through their payment system.”
Police say “Council staff are pulling down these stickers when they see them, but we would appreciate information from the public on where they’ve been placed.
“If you have information on anything related to these stickers such as who might be creating them or putting them up, please contact Police.
“Use our 105 service either online or over the phone. Please use reference number 260903/4913.”
