Charlottetown Police Services is warning the public of a text scam related to past due parking tickets. CPS has received a number of reports from people who have recently received a text message indicating they have a past due parking violation which includes a link to make payment online. An image of the text message is included for reference purposes.
As a reminder, the City of Charlottetown only issues parking notices by mail and does not text residents to request payment.
If you have received a text message, do not reply or click on the link, CPS recommends deleting the message and blocking the number.
If you have replied and provided personal information or sent payment, please call our non-emergency line (902) 629-4172.
