Mexico City Parking Ticket Scam: QR Codes Lead to Data Theft

Mexico City residents are warned about a new scam involving fraudulent parking tickets. These tickets, featuring a QR code, are being left on cars across the city. When scanned, the code redirects users to a malicious website designed to steal their banking and personal data. "Ten cuidado si ves esto en tu carro," warns Josue Jaib, a TikToker who shared a video exposing the scam. This translates to "Be careful if you see this on your car." Jaib's video has gained significant traction, highlighting the urgency of the situation. Authorities are urging residents to report any similar incidents and to avoid scanning QR codes on suspicious tickets. The city is working to address the issue and prevent further victimization.
