Re: TX: QR code parking meter scams
I just realized I got scammed by one of those in Norman, OK. I scanned and filled out the form, but it never worked on the meter. Weeks later I got notices from my Identity Scanning service that my e-mail and some other info hacked.philip964 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 5:09 pm https://www.click2houston.com/news/loca ... u-to-know/
