ADVISORY ON PARKING CITATION FINE SCAM
We were notified by a citizen today of an email they received advising that they received a parking ticket with links to download the ticket or pay it online. The email was listed as from “City Police Department” but it was not a police email address. This is a scam, we do not send out email related to parking ticket billing. If you receive one of these emails below, do not open any links but immediately delete it. A copy of the scam email is below for information.
