Don’t Fall for This Fake Parking Ticket Scam

Scammers are using QR codes to trick people into paying for nonexistent "violations."
Getting a parking ticket sucks, and the easiest way to put one out of your mind might be to pay it as soon as possible—a fact scammers are taking advantage of using fake tickets that trick you into making payments for violations you weren’t actually cited for.
According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), the scams involve tickets printed with QR codes that take you not to the legit payment site for your municipality, but to a dummy site that only approximates the real thing. When victims pay the citations, they’re not just giving up their money, but their personal information—which puts them at further risk.
