FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Drivers looking to park in Framingham may have to watch out for a scam looking to steal their meter fees.
Framingham Police put out an alert Thursday, notifying residents of fraudulent QR code stickers that are being placed on public parking meters as a "quick pay" option. Officials said that unsuspecting victims that scan the nefarious codes are directed to a website that looks like a payment page but steals their personal data instead.
