Warning as fake QR codes appear in car parks

The QR code stickers lead to fraudulent websites designed to steal peoples bank details.

Motorists have been urged to be "vigilant" after fake QR codes have appeared in car parks.

Plymouth City Council (PCC) said it had found a "small number" of fake RingGo stickers on its payment machines.

The codes lead to fraudulent websites designed to steal peoples' bank details, the council said.

PCC urged people to be "vigilant and report anything suspicious".

A PCC spokesperson added the authority does not use QR codes and information on how to access RingGo, a cashless parking app, was on its machines.
