PPA issues phishing scam alert regarding alleged unpaid tickets

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Parking Authority has issued a fraud alert.

They say it is a phishing scam that sends consumers text messages claiming to be from PPA.

The news says that customers owe money for an unpaid parking ticket.

PPA officials say there is a link to a malicious website demanding payment.

Do not click on the link, warns PPA.

PPA urges anyone with an outstanding traffic ticket to visit the company’s website or call directly to resolve the issue.
