A SCAM has been targeting commuters parked at the Frankston Railway Station car park. Fake infringement notices (pictured above) purporting to be from Frankston Council have been placed on windshields. Frankston Council has confirmed the fines are fraudulent.
Last week Frankston councillor Brad Hill told social media “these fake parking “Infridgement” notices are appearing on car windscreens in Frankston. The one reported to me was at the railway station car park, which of course is free parking. “They are not from the council. It’s a scam. Throw them in the bin.”
Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “my office has been made aware of fake infringement notices left on the windscreens of cars at the new Frankston commuter carpark. “This carpark is free. There are no fees, no infringements and Frankston City Council do not issue infringement notices at this carpark. Hopefully everyone knows not to use the QR code and to pass the word around that this is a scam.”
