LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Local officials are issuing a warning to residents about fake parking tickets that have been popping up this holiday season.
City of Las Vegas spokesperson Jace Radke says officers have found multiple fake tickets in the field, and at least one person has brought a fake ticket to the Parking Enforcement Office.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, officials also provided tips for those who may be vulnerable regarding how to spot a fake ticket.
The first of which is to be suspicious of any tickets with handwritten notes on them.
Additionally, a citation number, date, and officer's name will be present on the ticket. If you spot a ticket without all three, you can be sure it's a fake.
And finally, the city does not accept ticket payments from CashApp, so any requests for such should be regarded as suspicious.
We’ve received reports that fake parking tickets are popping up. To help keep your information safe, here are the ways you can spot a legitimate ticket.
