18-Oct-2025.

The City of St. John's is warning the public of a text scam that's circulating, which demands a high payment for a non-existent parking ticket.
The scammer sends a link to a fraudulent website with a "Pay Now" button, according to a social media post made by the city.
The city said text messages are not used to inform drivers of parking tickets, and payment is not taken directly.
