Boston, MA – The Boston Police Department has alerted residents to a new scam involving text messages. The fraudulent messages claim that recipients owe fees for overdue parking tickets.

These messages are not sent by the City of Boston. The BPD emphasizes the need for residents to remain vigilant and avoid falling victim to such scams.

For those seeking information on legitimate parking ticket payments, a resource has been made available online. Residents can visit https://www.boston.gov/departments/parking-clerk/how-pay-parking-ticket for guidance.

Victims of this scam are urged to report the incident to the Boston Police Department. In cases of criminal activity or if police assistance is required, residents should call 9-1-1.
