Beware a scam involving fraudulent text messages claiming to be from Salt Lake City’s parking services site. These messages are asking for payment of an “unpaid parking invoice”.
Be advised these messages are not legitimate and lead to an unauthorized website that is a payment site unaffiliated with Salt Lake City.
If you have already provided information as part of this scam, you should immediately contact your bank or credit card company to report fraudulent activity and then file a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) through the "Report Fraud" platform.
Salt Lake City is working with legal entities to address the matter and does not believe internal City systems were compromised. The scam appears to be similar to one other cities in the country have recently encountered.
Please make note of the following:
