On March 25, Phoenix activated its new speed cameras to begin issuing citations. But any text messages you get about an alleged violation are a scam.
The Phoenix Police Department is warning about the scam. Anybody who receives one of these texts is advised not to click links nor provide personal information.
Drivers who receive a legitimate speed camera citation will be notified by mail from the Phoenix Municipal Court.
The department says the city does not request or collect these payments through text, email or phone call.
