Evanston Police Warns Public about a Traffic Camera Ticket Scam
 EVANSTON, IL - The Evanston Police Department is warning the public about a traffic camera ticket scam. Several citizens have reported receiving emails notifying them they have been issued a "Moving Violation Recorded by Traffic Camera". The email also states the violation was recorded by a traffic camera in Evanston, IL.
The City of Evanston does not have any traffic cameras. If a citizen receives an email claiming a traffic camera violation within the City of Evanston, the email is fraudulent. Do not respond or attempt to pay the citation, it is a scam with the likely goal of committing identity theft.
See below to view screenshots from one of fraudulent emails.
