• The New York City Department of Finance is warning residents about a new parking ticket scam. Scammers are sending fake notices to people claiming they have unpaid parking tickets, and then demanding payment. The city says these notices are not legitimate and should be ignored.

• The scam involves sending letters or emails to people, claiming they have outstanding parking tickets that need to be paid immediately. The notices often include a payment link or instructions on how to pay the supposed fine. However, these are fraudulent attempts to steal money from unsuspecting victims.

• The city advises residents to be cautious of any unsolicited communications regarding parking tickets or fines. They recommend checking the official NYC Department of Finance website or calling the department directly to verify any outstanding tickets or fees. Residents should not provide any personal or financial information in response to these scam attempts.
