Why does nobody talk about the fake QR code on a parking meter in Denver that drained $340 from my checking account?
Last Tuesday I parked near 16th Street in Denver, scanned the QR code on the meter, and paid $4.50 for two hours. By Thursday my bank showed three charges I did not make, all from a food delivery app, totaling $340 before I caught it. My bank refunded the cash after 11 days, but the meter company said their stickers get peeled and replaced all the time and they cannot stop it. Now I only use the official app or coins, but half my friends think scanning is fine because 'the city would fix it.' Is the real fix to stop using QR codes on public stuff, or should cities be forced to cover the cost when their meters get tampered with?
