The City of Houston urges the public to be aware of a scam involving fraudulent QR codes being affixed to on-street parking pay stations. These fraudulent QR codes link to a non-City-affiliated website for payment.
In the past three weeks, the fraudulent QR codes have been affixed to on-street parking pay stations in Houston, Austin and San Antonio. ParkHouston urges residents to be aware and educate themselves on proper payment methods.
The City of Houston DOES NOT use QR codes on any on-street parking pay stations, nor does the City accept payments through QR codes. Payment methods include the ParkHouston app (ParkMobile), credit cards at the meter and cash. Please share and educate friends and colleagues on proper payment methods.
ParkHouston is inspecting all our pay stations. Anyone who sees someone tampering with a pay station and is not a badged City of Houston employee should call 9-1-1. If you see a QR code of any kind on a pay station, please report it to [email protected] or call 3-1-1.
