Raleigh, N.C. — The City of Raleigh is warning residents to be on the lookout for bogus notices about delinquent parking violations.
Residents in west Raleigh on Monday reported receiving the notices on their vehicles.
They appear to be legitimate – with the City of Raleigh seal and a payment website for ParkLink, the division of the city responsible for parking enforcement, as well as a telephone number and mailing address for payments.
The notices also include information on the amount of the so-called original parking violation, plus a delinquent penalty fee.
One of the notices sought payment for $476, plus a $170 penalty.
City officials say the city does not place delinquent notices on vehicles but uses the U.S. Postal Service to send them out.
Anyone who suspects they have received a bogus notice should not send money but contact the Raleigh Police Department at 919-996-3335.

I also wondered, based on the news story, if maybe they were targeting those who park badly.....can't remember the exact wording but seems at the bottom of the 'ticket' it said something like that.

I've long thought that we need some sort of Escape from NY type gulag for these scammers and identity thieves.

Probably some truth in that statement, but we don't seem to have a problem growing our own either......
