Fake Speeding Ticket Scam
Reports have surfaced of emails claiming recipients have traffic violations and must pay within 72 hours – this is a scam.
Traffic tickets are issued by officers in person, and all related matters are dealt with in court, not through email.
Do not disclose personal or financial information to such emails.
If you’ve received one of these emails or think you’ve been scammed, contact them at 501-778-1171.
