Parking ticket scam going around Winnipeg
The City of Winnipeg is reminding residents of a text message scam currently happening. The City said that someone is sending text messages impersonating the Winnipeg Parking Authority. While Winnipeg Parking Authority does not send out text messages, the collections agency, CBV Collection Services Ltd., sends text message reminders to those with outstanding fines. Text messages may include links for payment but will always direct the recipient to “call Wpg311 to validate.” If you receive a text that you are unsure about, contact 311. If you believe you have fallen for the scam, make sure to report it as soon as possible.
