Red Light Camera Scam

 TPD is sending around information about a type of red light camera scam that hasn't been seen yet in Tampa, but is seen where other municipalities have installed these new ticket systems.

The scam involves the driver getting a phone call from someone claiming to be police requesting that the driver pay their ticket over the phone using a credit card. 

Tampa has recently installed these cameras; there are two at the Nebraska/Hillsborough intersection. If you do run a red light at this intersection you will not be notified via telephone and TPD will never request your personal information over the phone. 

Be Safe!
