点评:Awful experience- PARKING LOT SCAM.
Stay away from the Old Town Parking Lot- QR code pay-to-park. Old town management, security and the Sheriff deputies patrolling are aware of tow company scam- you scan QR code to pay to park, you walk in to Old Town, tow company takes car and then you’re at their mercy to get car back.
After 20+ years- we decided as a family to go back to Old Town to watch the Friday night car show. Overheard a frantic family vacationing whose car was towed though they had confirmation of payment. While trying to help- met a handful of tourists also waiting for security to help that had the SAME thing happen to them after parking in this lot. Car would be towed, tow company texts you requesting $205 and tells you “they’re closed but they’ll bring you car only if you pay”. That’s another $205 on top of the $12.82 you already paid for parking. Old Town Security as well as the Deputies patrolling the area were kind and tried to help but it’s considered a “civil matter”. They are very aware of the scam. Families were advised to sue or pay the fee to get car back. What should’ve been an 1hr-2hr family activity turned into a 4hr nightmare.
翻译:糟糕的体验——停车场骗局。
千万别去老城区的停车场,那里有二维码停车付费系统。老城区的管理方、安保人员以及巡逻的警员都知晓这家拖车公司的骗局:你扫描二维码支付停车费后进入老城区,随后该拖车公司就会把你的车拖走,接着你就只能任由他们摆布才能把车取回。
在阔别20多年后,我们一家人决定重返老城区,观看周五晚上的汽车展览。我听到一个全家正在度假的家庭急得不知所措——他们的车被拖走了,尽管他们能证明已经付过费。在我试图提供帮助时,又遇到了几位同样在此停车后遭遇同样遭遇的游客,他们也在等待安保人员协助。车辆被拖走后,拖车公司会发短信要求支付205美元,并声称:“我们虽然已下班,但只有付费后才能把车还给你。”这205美元是在原本已支付的12.82美元停车费之外额外产生的费用。老城区治安人员以及在该地区巡逻的警员都很友善,也试图提供帮助,但此事被归为“民事纠纷”。他们很清楚这是一种骗局。当局建议那些受害家庭要么提起诉讼,要么支付费用以取回车辆。原本预计只需1到2小时的家庭活动,最终却变成了一场持续4小时的噩梦。
