Invoice wording for teams

hey everyone welcome back to my Channel today I'm talking about a message that's causing a stir in the Charlotte Community you might have received a text message that reads something like this your vehicle has an unpaid parking invoice of $4.3 with a link to parket nc.com so is this a legitimate notification from the city or is it just another scam let's break it down first off if you receive this message you're definitely not alone many people have reached out asking whether it's a scam or if they should be worried about a real parking ticket the text claims there's a $435 invoice do but if ignored it could lead to a late fee of $35 sounds serious right but before you panic and click that link let's dig into some facts we've all heard it before if it sounds too good to be true it probably is scammers often exploit urgency to trick you into clicking on malicious links here are some common signs of a scam message poor grammar trust me professional notifications rarely have spelling or grammatical mistakes requests for immediate action scams often imply that you need to act now just like this text so let's see if this message fits that mold the first step I took was to contact the city of Charlotte I wanted to ask about these notices are they sending out texts the answer the park at on street parking program is a Charlotte Department of Transportation TurnKey operation outsourced to sp. parket phone number is 74432 7275 next next I check the website parkit nc.com if you navigate to it you'll notice it looks questionable the design isn't professional and there's limited information regarding payments and contact details if you're ever in doubt I always recommend going straight to official City websites or calling local government offices to verify any claims like these so what should you do if you receive this text first of all do not click any links instead one delete the text if you're convinced it's a scam just delete it protect yourself from potential fishing attacks two report it forward the message to your carrier or your local authorities they can investigate further to protect others three stay aware never provide personal or financial information unless you're sure you're communicating with a legitimate organization there you have it friends always be cautious about unexpected messages especially when it comes to money if you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up subscribe for more tips and share it with friends so they can stay safe too remember knowledge is your best defense against scams until next time stay safe and stay informed
