The MNPD Fraud Unit cautions residents of an emerging parking ticket scam in the Midtown Hills area of Nashville.
Bogus Tickets Target Motorists
Authorities reveal that fraudulent parking tickets, bearing the label Metro Nashville Parking, have been discovered on vehicles. These deceptive citations allege illegal parking violations and demand payment of fines.
Differentiating Genuine from Fake
MNPD underscores the importance of distinguishing between legitimate and counterfeit tickets. Both MNPD and NDOT parking citations share a similar appearance. However, authentic fines can only be settled online via the Circuit Court Clerk’s Traffic Violation Bureau.
Avoiding Financial Pitfalls
Individuals are strongly advised against remitting payments through the fraudulent website www.metronashvilleparking.com or to a Square account.
