Please be vigilant of fraudulent QR codes!
Fraudulent QR codes have recently been found on payment machines across council-owned car parks. These QR codes, which falsely claim to be for the PaybyPhone service, are designed to trick individuals into handing over their card details. It is important to note that Mid Sussex District Council does not use PaybyPhone for parking payments and uses MiPermit. We’ve also been made aware of a national scam where text messages are being sent with a parking fine and a link for payment. This is a scam. We don’t issue parking f ines via text message. Councillor Chris Hobbs, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Leisure and Customer Services said: “We are asking residents not to scan these QR codes for their own protection. Our enforcement officers, who play a crucial role in ensuring the security of our parking facilities, were the first to spot and highlight this issue. Their quick action has been essential in mitigating the risk posed by these fraudulent QR codes.” For more information or to report any concerns, please contact the council’s parking team at parkinginfo@midsussex. gov.uk or by calling 01444 458166.
