Two types of fraudulent activity (scams) relating to Barnet parking have been reported to us:
QR codes on parking signs: Fake QR codes have been reported on some Barnet parking signs. We only process payments to park via PaybyPhone: via the app or by using the phone number displayed on the sign quoting the location number.
Text messages: some Barnet residents have been sent texts saying they should click on a link to pay a PCN. If you receive a suspicious text asking you to take action or provide personal information: do not respond or click any links.
We do not request payment for parking or penalties by text or QR code.
Please report any suspicious QR codes or texts to parking.clientteam@barnet.gov.uk
