Following the emergence of counterfeit QR codes in Leamington, similar fraudulent activities have now surfaced in Warwick.

Authorities have been alerted to the presence of unauthorised stickers on Pay and Display machines within the Warwick area.

These stickers mislead drivers to fraudulent websites.

Warwickshire County Council strongly advises motorists against scanning any QR codes or barcodes found on the Pay and Display machines: "Any QR or barcodes affixed onto our machines have not derived from Warwickshire County Council."

The council's Pay and Display machines are equipped to accept cash payments.

Alternatively, motorists can use the official RingGo parking App for secure parking transactions. ,
