Fall in Stuttgart: False QR codes discovered on parking machines!

Hohe Straße, Stuttgart, Deutschland - Unknowns started a sneaky fraud stitch in Stuttgart! Real QR payment codes with fake QR codes were glued over on a parking ticket machine on the Hohe Straße. A 46-year-old man wanted to pay for his parking ticket with his cell phone on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 and scanned the specified QR code. But instead of being directed to the official payment page, he landed on a fraudulent side that asked him to enter his credit card data. He was promptly debited around 120 euros from the account!

The police were informed and discovered five other machines near the hospital district, which were also manipulated with false codes. The officials ask witnesses to report on +4971189903100 in order to provide further information. Parking fees have also been paid for mobile since January 15, 2025 in Stuttgart - a practical service that now receives a thread through this stitch. Be careful and check the QR codes before payment!
