AARP scam alert: Steer clear of traffic violation scams

Summary by wiscassetnewspaper.com
After toll road scams spread last summer, a new version is surging—texts claiming you owe money for a traffic or parking violation. These messages often include an official-looking notice offering a court date or a small fine (around $6), with a QR code for immediate payment to avoid penalties. They may mention your location or use fake case numbers to appear legitimate and create a sense of urgency.
