Warning: Fake Parking Tickets with QR Codes

We’ve received reports of fake parking notices being placed on vehicles in Swansea.

These notices may look official but include a QR code directing you to a payment page. This is a scam designed to obtain your personal and financial details.

🚫 Do not scan QR codes on unofficial parking notices
🚫 Do not enter any payment details via these links

Genuine parking tickets will not require payment via a random QR code placed on your vehicle.

✅ If you receive a ticket, check directly with the relevant council or parking provider using official websites only.
✅ If in doubt, report it to us.

We are carrying out enquiries into this and increasing patrols in affected areas.

If you have seen this happening or have been affected, please contact us via 101 or online.

Always call 999 in an emergency.
