New York City drivers are being alerted by the Department of Transportation (DOT) about a scam involving counterfeit QR code stickers on parking meters. These fake stickers redirect users to a fraudulent website requesting credit card information, leading to potential theft. The DOT emphasizes that payments should only be made via the official Park NYC app or through designated parking meters. Officials are actively checking for these stickers and urge anyone who encounters them to report to the police and notify their banks if they have already used a fake code.
