## Resource

Fake QR codes targeting Christchurch parking meters have sparked a citywide alert — with 120+ meters compromised and unsuspecting drivers tricked into paying bogus fees. The culprit, reportedly frustrated with high parking costs, claims they donated proceeds and never stole card info — even offering refunds. But authorities say the scale was far larger than admitted, and police are investigating. If you paid via the fake site, contact your bank and the council immediately — real payment info is always on the meter itself.
