This from BBC News:
My main purpose in posting this is to ask whether there was a card payment option at this car park (in which case a QR code is not needed)?
Surely all car parks should have a card payment option (whether on the railway or not)?
A woman fell victim to fraudsters in a £13,000 train station QR code scam.
Fraudsters are thought to have covered a genuine code with one of their own in Thornaby station car park.
That sent her to a fake website allowing them to redirect payments and card information, resulting in the victim, 71, losing thousands of pounds.
Rail firm TransPennine Express removed all QR codes from its station car parks in September following reports of similar scams across the country.
