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 or payment information. Families may encounter this through text messages or emails claiming you owe a parking fine.

What to do: Do not click any links about parking fines or fees — go directly to your official local government website instead, and warn your family members to ignore unexpected parking penalty messages.

What this means for your family

If you get a text or email about a parking fine you don't remember, stop and don't click the link. Scammers are creating fake government websites to trick you into giving them your personal information or credit card details. Instead, go directly to your city or county's official website to check if any fine is real, and let your family know to ignore these surprise messages too.
