The QR code takes you to a scam website.

There have been a few instances where residents have fallen victim to fraudulent PayByPhone accounts.

If you are using car parks across the South Hams, please remember to download the PayByPhone app from PayByPhone directly or through the official app stores only as below:

Please note that we do not operate any QR codes in our car parks, and we make daily checks of our machines and car park signs to look out for fake QR stickers.
