***Parking Enforcement advisory from Walnut Creek Police**** Our Parking Enforcement team has noticed Amazon stickers being posted on parking meters throughout the downtown core area. Please do not scan the QR code placed on meters as it could be a scam. The City of Walnut Creek only accepts QR payments that are printed on the citation itself.
Likely some sort of affiliate link, but not going to scan the QR code to find out.
WCPD should reach out to Amazon and figure out which affiliate is doing this.
Saw this. Thanks for posting.
stop charging for parking and it will all go away. Walnut Creek makes a fortune from you to park in your own City. That is a bigger scam!
I’ve gotten tickets several times in Walnut Creek after just one minute of expiration! A local told me that there’s a signal that goes off to the parking enforcement the moment time expires and a car is still parked there! Then they rush right over. That’s almost devious!
I got one of the so-called tickets (not the scam type but not one issued by WCPD) where you can legally park for 20 min. … wnt into a bank and out in 12-15 min – they had already “ticketed” me …calling them out on it did nothing, complaining to the city of WC did nothing…. another reason I avoid downtown
