FOI Request - Council Car Park QR Code Scams

Request 101003761535

1.  How many reports have been made about fake/scam QR Codes at council-owned or council-operated car parks in the past 12 months?

2.  The names of the council-owned or council-operated car parks which have been affected.

3. Please also provide copies of the 5 most recent reports related to QR scams at council-owned or council-operated car parks (or fewer if there are less than 5). I understand these may be redacted for personal information, but I ask that you redact only exempted information and justify the use of those exemptions. I also kindly remind you that the time taken for redactions does not usually contribute towards the cost cap under FOI.
