Scammers posing as council workers trick Wandsworth drivers into inserting cards into fake parking machines, stealing data to withdraw money.
Residents in Wandsworth are being warned about a scam where fake council workers claim parking payment systems are down, tricking drivers into inserting debit cards into machines.
Scammers say cards are swallowed and offer to retrieve them using a "key" from their van, but instead steal card details to withdraw money.
Authorities confirm parking machines cannot retain cards, and any lost card indicates theft.
Drivers are urged to use contactless payments, avoid entering PINs, and immediately cancel compromised cards while reporting incidents to Action Fraud or police.
