Take care before scanning QR codes.
Apparently on some car parking sites the QR codes for the car park company are being covered over with another that will take your details and extract hundreds, or an amount that they expect to be paid. So they think that they've paid £5 to park but when (eventually) they check their account £800 has disappeared. The scam could be applied just about anywhere that uses the mysterious and impossible to validate QR codes.
Which as far as I am concerned is just another reason never to use them. (Which I never have)
