NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police is warning people, if you returned to your car and found a parking ticket recently, make sure the ticket is real before paying the fine.
The real parking ticket is labeled, "Parking Violation Notice" and says "State of Tennessee - Davidson County Metropolitan General Sessions Court."
The fake one has a QR code at the bottom and says "Metro Nashville Parking - Parking Violation."
Metro Police said the fake ticket has been placed on cars saying it is illegally parked and a fine must be paid.
The website it indicates, metronashvilleparking.com, is a scam. Police said do not pay your ticket there, or to a Square account.
MNPD and NDOT parking tickets look the same and can be paid online at this website, circuitclerk.nashville.gov.
Metro police said anyone who has fallen victim to this scam or sees a ticket like it on their car should report it to the Fraud Unit detective by calling 615-862-8600.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
