Police are Warning of Red Light Camera Scam in Virginia | Vienna Traffic Attorney

Vienna Police are warning of a phone scam involving people being called about a false claim of an overdue red light camera ticket. The scam starts with a call to a victim at which time they are informed that they were supposedly caught on a red light camera and have an overdue red light camera ticket. Then the caller demands immediate payment by credit card over the phone or threatens the victim that they will be arrested. The caller is hoping that the victim is not aware of how the red light camera ticketing system works and falls for the threat by freely giving out their credit card information.

If the caller states that you have an overdue ticket in Vienna, Virginia, be aware that the red light cameras in Vienna have not been operational for years.

If you get a call from any one claiming that you have an overdue red light camera ticket and question its validity, you should ask the caller in which county or city this supposedly occurred and hang up. Then contact the non emergency number for the police department for the area the caller claimed you ran the red light camera to report that you received the call and to confirm whether or not you indeed have an outstanding ticket on file so you can properly take care of it.

If you have been charged with speeding, reckless driving, DUI / DWI or other serious traffic violation, contact the Parrish Law Firm for a free evaluation of your traffic case.
