CONSUMER FRAUD ALERT: Malicious Text Messages Falsely Claim Recipients Owe for Outstanding Parking Tickets

 

(PHILADELPHIA)—The Philadelphia Parking Authority today issued a Consumer Fraud ALERT, warning customers of a malicious phishing scam in which consumers are receiving text messages disguised as coming from the PPA that falsely inform them they owe money for an unpaid parking ticket. Included in the text message is a link to a malicious non-PPA website with a request to click the link below to make payment.

The PPA urges consumers NOT to click the link and NOT to respond to these text messages. The PPA advises anyone wishing to see if they have an outstanding parking ticket to go online at www.philapark.org and under “Tickets” check to see if there is money owed by entering the ticket violation number and license plate number or call the Parking Violations Branch directly at 1-888-591-3636 to find out if you have an outstanding balance.  Any payment should be directed to PPA’s website at https://philapark.org/violations/ 


The PPA provides four (4) official methods to make payments. Those payment options include:
  • Online: www.philapark.org
  • Via Phone: 1-888-591-3636
  • Via Mail: City of Philadelphia, Parking Violations Branch, P.O. Box 41818 Philadelphia, PA 19101
  • In-person: 913 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107
