Fake Government Parking Fine Website Stealing Personal Info

A fraudulent website is pretending to be an official government parking payment page to trick people into handing over personal and payment details. Families who receive unexpected texts or emails about parking fines with links could easily be fooled by this.

What to do: If you or your child receives a text or email about an unpaid parking fine with a link, do not click it — go directly to your local government's official website instead and ignore the message.

What this means for your family

If your family gets a text or email about a parking fine with a link, it's likely a scam trying to steal your personal information and money. Don't click any links in these messages — instead, go straight to your city or county's official website to check on any real fines. When in doubt, call your local parking authority directly to verify.
