Re: qr codes

[Malcolm Parfitt]

Undoubtedly QR Codes will become more prevalent and perhaps useful in the future, but the scammers are alert to their miss-use too.  Read this on Sky News. The public has been warned to make sure they are paying for their parking via official means. It comes as QR codes have appeared in a number of car parks across Wales, taking people to a fake website. Yori Evans, 19, was caught out in the car park outside Pembrokeshire County Council's offices in Haverfordwest. "I scanned the QR code and then put my details in and paid, but it didn't work correctly so I downloaded the app and paid there," he told Sky News. "The following morning £60 was taken out of my account to STRNGRBILL.COM. Then I called the bank to see what the payment was for. I'm still waiting to be able to apply for a refund. "I cancelled my card and the day after they tried to take £57.99 out of my account but luckily the card was cancelled." Mr Evans said he was "confused" when the money left his account.

Once recently in a hotel room we were 'confronted' by such a code and were unclear as to what to do to get the hotel information etc and now we know. Thanks, Incidentally good to see this list back in business again and seeing some good, reliable  and recognisable listers back too.
