If you’ve gotten a message about unpaid parking fines, chances are it’s a scam, the Maryland Judiciary warned.

Maryland court officials said bad actors are sharing text messages about a “Notice of Default — Unpaid Parking Fine.” Recipients are prompted to click a link or report to Baltimore City District Court to resolve the matter, or face court enforcement, license suspension, additional fines, or potential damage to their credit and personal records, judiciary personnel said.

Terri Charles, a spokesperson for the Maryland Judiciary, said they are not aware of any victims of the scam thus far, but about 20 people visited the court after receiving the text message. Charles said they became aware of the scam messages due to people visiting the courthouse and calling them.

Similarly, a spokesperson for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration said their contact center has fielded over 120 calls related to a scam text alert charging recipients to pay outstanding toll balances or risk having to pay a late fee. State courts nor the MVA send texts requesting payment or personal information, officials said.

“These texts, or any variations of it, are a scam, and recipients should not click the link nor provide any payment or personal information,” state judiciary officials said.
