"⚠️  Scam alerts! 📢 

We’re sorry to have to draw attention to two scams targeting potential visitors to the North York Moors National Park.

1. Fraudulent QR codes attached to car parking signs.

Fraudsters have attached fake ‘pay by phone’ QR code stickers to car parking signs in the National Park. This type of scam could happen anywhere, so please be careful when scanning QR codes for any type of payment service. People using National Park car parks have a variety of payment options, including using the card machines provided (which take Apple pay and Android pay alongside traditional card payments). Visitors can also still use the ‘Pay by Phone’ option, but always visit the genuine Pay by Phone website from your browser, or download the Pay by Phone app direct from your phone’s app store. Please note the QR code in this photograph has been digitally altered to prevent curious-minded viewers from putting their data at risk. Further information and advice from North Yorkshire Police can be found here: www.northyorkshirecommunitymessaging.co.uk/Alerts/A/285816/North-York-Moors-Car-Parks---Scam-QR-Code-Alert

2. Fake accommodation websites offering deals on social media

Not for the first time, we’ve been made aware of fraudulent websites offering great getaway offers for locations that do not exist. Anyone who books these (often amazing looking) deals and travels to the National Park will sadly find they have nowhere to stay and may struggle to get their money back. Please be wary of accommodation offers that appear on social media and always do additional research to check that the addresses and contact details match up with other details found online. This particular scam (for a cabin called 'Wilding Fogfield') uses the postcode of the National Park Authority’s headquarters in Helmsley, but gives no specific address. It is fact a fraudulent copy of a real accommodation provider in another part of the country."
