CARMEL, Ind. -- Carmel police issued a warning Tuesday about scam artists using new ways to try and steal your money.
The scam takes the form of a fraudulent email that appears to be from a city source. The email says the recipient has been recorded by a traffic camera at 96th Street and Keystone Avenue and now owes a fine for a traffic violation.
But, police say, there are no traffic cameras at that location – and police don't issue citations by email.
Carmel police say if you receive the scam email, you should contact them and not agree to send anyone money.
