Bloody hell, can't even park without getting scammed now. Council better sort this out fast.

get stuffed, all they do is send out press releases while we get ripped off

oh for f sake, I almost scanned one of those this morning. Looked legit too, just a sticker on the machine. Wankers.

same thing happened at the mall last week. ppl need to wake up

Ella Thompson2026-07-14T05:50:21.000Z

Who even carries cash anymore? App all the way. But yeah, dodgy QR codes are everywhere now

Casey Adams2026-07-14T06:01:21.000Z

Another scam. Surprise surprise. Wonder how long it took the council to notice... probably after someone got stung.

The council's warning? More like a weak-ass heads up after the fact. They should be checking these things every damn day. Useless.

Casey Adams2026-07-14T06:30:21.000Z

facts. they can't even get the parking meters to work properly half the time

Isla Cooper2026-07-14T06:18:21.000Z

so the scammers print stickers but the council can't even fix the potholes? priorities lol

Ella Thompson2026-07-14T06:38:21.000Z

but also don't pretend the official app is perfect. It's buggy as hell

Jamie Fox2026-07-14T06:25:21.000Z

Stay safe everyone, just pay with coins or use the official app. Don't trust random stickers.
