"Consumers beware: scammers are targeting parking meters, and we want you to be vigilant. If you see a QR code on a parking meter, do not scan it, and please report it."
"The only way to pay for metered parking in New York City is through the official ParkNYC app or on a physical ParkNYC parking meter."
The NYC Department of Transportation has issued a warning about a new scam involving fraudulent QR codes placed on ParkNYC parking meters. These codes direct victims to a third-party site soliciting credit card information. DOT officials stress that legitimate payments can only be made via the official ParkNYC app or directly at the meters. Users are encouraged to avoid scanning suspicious codes and report such incidents. The department has implemented measures including in-app notifications and citywide inspections to tackle this scam.
