Officials in Asheville are warning drivers to be on the lookout for fake parking tickets with a QR code that opens a YouTube video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” when scanned.

Asheville’s Parking Services posted alerts to their website and Facebook page on March 4 after at least two bogus tickets had popped up on cars.

“It was kind of surprising to go to a link for a YouTube video, and then when I went, it was featuring some rock star that I didn’t know,” Parking Services Manager Harry Brown told local station WLOS-TV.

Disguised by a hyperlink, the hit ‘80s single has unexpectedly popped up in a number of places — including ISIS hashtags (compliments of hacktivist group Anonymous) and the White House’s Twitter account. 

The prank is referred to as "rickrolling."
