Fake QR code scam

We are aware of a parking scam related to fake QR codes and what is known as "quishing". This is where you are asked to scan a QR code to pay for parking. While we do use QR codes on our Pay and Display machines, this goes straight to MiPermit for cashless parking only. If you see any other website when scanned, do not make any payments through it, as it is a scam. Our staff have been working to remove these as quickly as possible. If you see any QR codes that look fake, you should report them to us.
