# QR codes for parking operators that resist sticker scams

> Parking meters are the most targeted place for QR sticker fraud. Kizmo gives drivers a verified check screen and alerts operators when a meter's code goes silent.

Scam stickers on meters and pay stations send drivers to cloned payment pages. Drivers lose money, and operators lose revenue and trust. Warnings from the FBI and city governments have made drivers wary of every parking code, genuine or not.

## Where codes go

- **Meters and pay stations**: Pay-by-phone
- **Zone signage**: Zone payment and rules
- **EV chargers**: Session start and payment

## Risks

- Overlay stickers leading to cloned payment pages.
- Drivers abandoning genuine codes because they cannot tell them apart.

## How Kizmo helps

### Per-meter codes

One code per meter or zone, labelled with its location.

### Tamper alerts by location

A meter that normally gets scanned every day and suddenly records none is flagged with its exact location.

### Something drivers can check

A verified screen with your organisation's name, a verify page, and a short code printed under the QR.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can we run Kizmo across hundreds of meters?

Yes. Create one code per placement. Pro covers 150 placements and Business 1,000, with bulk import from a spreadsheet; larger estates get a Custom plan.
