Premium parking scam QR code
My daughter(18) is new to driving/parking, she parked in the Northside Premium lot by Deans and scanned some QR code to pay. She payed via webpage and used her debit card. This is February 20th.
Weeks later she starts getting all these crazy $30 charges from the same “business” that she payed for the parking through and after two she tell me about it and of course I’m like.. you got scammed!!
Now here we are in April and I just now received a late notice for a parking ticket in the mail?? This is the first notice that’s been received.
The car is in my name, and I only have 1 week to pay.. I honestly can’t afford this ticket and neither can she and it also is absurd to have to pay $60 for $2 parking when you allow your lot to be compromised enough that people are getting scammed. The online dispute says that a bank statement won’t be enough to prove you paid but she has no other proof because the webpage did not give her proof. She she’s out over $100 because of the reoccurring scam charges, and has $60 more to be out or my credit is negatively effected and I can’t park in a premium lot without risking a boot.
Any suggestions??
