We are issuing a consumer
alert about a scam involving red light camera tickets. We learned today that in at least two cases,
a caller, posing as a law enforcement officer, informed potential victims that
they had failed to appear in court for a red light/speed camera ticket. The victims are told to go to a local store
and pay a substantial fine or a warrant could be issued.
The Prince George’s County
Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies do not make phone calls
requesting citizens bring payments to a business. All payments are handled by
mail or through a website as listed on the tickets. If you receive a phone call from anyone
asking you to pay a red light camera or any other ticket, please call the
Prince George’s County Police Department Automated Traffic Enforcement office
at (301) 955-0790 during business hours or call 911.
