Fake Government Parking Website Stealing Personal Info

A website pretending to be an official government parking service is actually a scam designed to steal your personal and payment details. Teens or adults in the family who receive texts or emails about unpaid parking fines should be especially cautious.

What to do: Do not click any links about parking fines or fees — if you think a fine is real, go directly to your local government's official website by typing the address yourself.

What this means for your family

If someone in your family gets a text or email about an unpaid parking fine, it's likely a scam trying to steal their personal information and money. Tell them to ignore the link, and if they're worried about a real fine, visit your city or county's official website directly by typing the address themselves rather than clicking any link sent to them.
