DENVER WARNS OF PHONE SCAM Unknown caller demanding payment of parking tickets Denver is warning residents about a phony caller that is trying to obtain people’s credit card information. Denver Public Works learned Friday that someone called three residents, demanding immediate payment of parking tickets and threatening to boot or tow if payment was not made. Three people contacted the Denver Parking Violations Bureau saying they received the call Thursday night around 11:00 pm. and it appears the caller was trying to get their credit card numbers. None of the three residents paid the caller.  Similar incidents have been reported around the nation.

It is important for residents to know that Denver City agencies would never call a resident, demanding parking tickets be paid by phone and asking for credit card information.  People should always be wary of anyone trying to obtain their credit card number over the phone. Anyone who provided their credit card information to this caller should contact their credit card company immediately.
