SEFTON Council has issued a warning not to use QR codes on the road Parking Payment Machines and to make payments in Council car parks throughout the borough.

In a recent statement  Sefton Council have said:- "We have been made aware of fake QR codes on Pay & Display machines across the borough. Our Highways Team have been around the borough removing the fake QR codes, so far they have been removed from 20 machines in Southport and 2 machines in Crosby. Please be cautious when paying for your parking and do not scan any QR codes on the machines. We do NOT use QR codes for payments."

This is sadly a growing problem, not just in Sefton, accross the UK.
