flag Police warn of rising "quishing" scams using fake QR codes to steal data and money.

flag Thames Valley Police are warning the public about a rise in "quishing" scams, where fake QR codes on parking machines, charging points, menus, and emails redirect users to fraudulent websites. flag Scanning these codes can lead to identity theft and financial harm as victims unknowingly share personal or banking details. flag Authorities urge people to check for tampering, use official apps, verify URLs, and rely on built-in phone scanners. flag They stress the importance of pausing before scanning, especially for codes from banks or government bodies, and report suspicious activity via 0300 123 2040 or 101 (Scotland). flag More info is available at stopthinkfraud.campaign.gov.uk.
