Motorists in Kensington and Chelsea are being cautioned about a QR code parking scam involving fake payment stickers in six locations. The council confirmed that their official payment system does not use QR codes, urging drivers to utilize the PayByPhone app instead. If scammed, victims risk financial theft and potential parking fines. The council is actively removing the counterfeit stickers and encourages residents to report any sightings to the police or the council for timely action.
If you use a QR code to pay for parking in Kensington and Chelsea, I guarantee that you are paying scammers instead of the Council. Our parking system does not use QR codes at all.
Our officers are removing these fake signs as quickly as we spot them but we want to make sure visitors and residents don't fall foul of this cruel hoax which has been blighting other areas of London too.
