BOSTON — Boston police are warning people about fake parking violation court notices.
The court notices appear to be official “Notice of Hearing — Parking Violation” documents from the Boston Municipal Court.
The notices include a case number, judge name and signature, a Boston Municipal Court address, a hearing date, a Massachusetts state seal, and a QR code prompting payment.
Police are urging people not to scan the Q-R code and make any payment.
They say you could verify any potential parking violations through the city’s parking clerk.
If you have received a fraudulent notice or have been victimized, report it to the Boston Police Department.
Anonymous information can be submitted to the CrimeStoppers tip line by calling 1-800-494-TIPS, or texting “TIP” to CRIME (27463). Tips can also be submitted online.
