Police are warning the public about fake QR codes found on parking meters.
The scammers put these QR codes on about 150 meters along Esplanade and in the Riviera Village area. When you scan the QR code to pay the meter, it takes you to poybyphone instead of paybyphone. The website will direct ask your location and credit card information. If you are distracted it is a website difference that can easily be overlooked.
Redondo Beach only uses ParkMobile and PayByPhone. Any other parking meter business in that area is likely a scam.
