Residents of San Francisco have been receiving scam text messages claiming they owe money for unpaid parking tickets. Many of the recipients do not even own cars, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. The messages threaten a $35 daily overdue fee and seem to originate from a Montreal area code. Several reports on platforms like Reddit confirm that multiple San Franciscans have been targeted. The SFMTA has issued a statement warning the public that these messages are scams and should be ignored.
San Francisco residents are being targeted by fraudulent text messages demanding payment for unpaid parking tickets, a scam originating outside the US.
The SFMTA warns that recent text messages claiming unpaid parking invoices are scams, as multiple residents have reported receiving these non-credible messages.
Many people receiving these scam texts don't own cars, yet they are threatened with overdue fees for parking tickets they never incurred.
The area code of the sender indicates it's from Montreal, Quebec, leading to speculation about potential spoofing to mislead recipients.
