Fake Government Parking Website Stealing Personal Info

A website pretending to be an official government parking service is actually a scam designed to steal personal and payment information. Family members searching for parking fines or permits online could be tricked into entering sensitive details.

What to do: Warn your family never to pay parking fines or fees through links received by text or email — always 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 a parking fine, they could accidentally visit a fake website that looks official but actually steals their personal and payment information. Always type your city or county's website address directly into your browser instead of clicking links in messages — this simple habit keeps your family's financial details safe from scammers pretending to be the government.
