(Pittsburgh, PA) A scam using fake QR codes on parking meters is now catching the attention of the Pittsburgh Parking Authority. These false QR codes that scammers use have a distinctive feature that is different from the QR codes that the Pittsburgh Parking Authority uses, which can help people identify whether to activate or avoid them. David Onorato, the executive director of the Pittsburgh Parking Authority, asserts that the parking kiosks of his company’s program have stickers, so ignore the QR code if it is not part of that sticker. Parkers in Pittsburgh have not been victim of this scam yet, but Onorato is intent on getting both staff and officers to keep an eye out for parking meters without legitimate QR codes.
