Urgent warning as woman conned in parking scam

Drivers may be caught out by a major new scam cropping up across the UK with motorists now losing hundreds of pounds.

Motorists across the country could be at risk of being scammed with fake QR stickers being stuck onto parking machines.

An Irish road user lost a staggering €1,000 (£836) after being caught out by a major con at a cashless parking machine.

However, instead of paying the parking tariff, they lost hundreds of pounds in seconds after likely sharing personal information with fraudsters.

A video posted on social media site X showed the QR code with identical proportions had been placed directly over the real stamp.

In the clip, a woman was seen picking at the sticker and peeling it away in front of shocked onlookers.
