UC 海角原创 police are warning of a parking ticket scam on campus.
A driver returned to their car in The Pavilion Parking Structure on Monday (July 13) and found a notice claiming to be a parking citation. It listed a website that, when visited, prompted users to pay $85 via PayPal to clear their infraction.
鈥淣obody except UC 海角原创 Transportation Services or the UC 海角原创 Police Department has authority to issue parking citation on UC 海角原创 property,鈥 the police said in a crime alert this week. 鈥淯C 海角原创 does not process payment for any fees or services via PayPal.鈥
As of today (July 16), the fraudulent website, which claimed to be 鈥渁n independent parking enforcement organization based around UC 海角原创,鈥 was no longer functioning.
Anyone who has received a fraudulent citation or paid money to the phony website is asked to call UC 海角原创 police, 530-752-1727.
Parking permits are currently not required to park on campus, although compliance with restricted spaces (bus loading areas and fire lanes, as well as spaces reserve for disabled people) is still being enforced.
