Moreton Bay Regional Council warned residents to be cautious of a fraudulent parking fine scheme.
A fake penalty infringement notice issued to a vehicle in the Clontarf area on November 25 alerted council to the issue.
The dodgy infringement notice displayed council’s logo and claims to have been issued by council officers.
A council spokesman said, “it is unknown how many of these infringement notices have been issued and drivers are reminded that council-issued penalty infringement notices never display banking details for infringement payments to be made”.
