Parkin urged customers, through its digital platforms, to check all information carefully and settle fees only via its official channels, including the authorised mobile application and website. It also advised the public not to respond to messages sent from unverified numbers or links.

The warning comes amid a rise in cyber fraud attempts targeting drivers and parking service users through text messages, fake links and unauthorised QR codes aimed at stealing banking and personal data.
