The City of Calgary and Calgary Parking are warning residents not to interact with scam text messages asking for parking ticket payments.
In a social media post Monday, Calgary Parking said it will never use text messages for ticket notifications or payment requests. The parking authority is urging Calgarians not to respond to the text messages. Calgarians are also asked not to click on the links.
Those who received a scam text message are encouraged to report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
“You will receive a parking offense in the mail or on the front window of your vehicle. Those are the only ways the City of Calgary or Parking Calgary will ever issue a parking violation,” said Robert Whyte, business and technology development coordinator with the City of Calgary.
