Question 1

What is the "Parking Lot Attendant Impersonation" scam in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

Near sporting events at State Farm Arena or Truist Park, scammers in unofficial vests collect cash parking fees in lots they do not own or manage. Victims pay but their car may be towed by the actual lot owner. Only park in clearly marked, gated lots with official signage and a booth or machine. Pay via credit card when possible. Verify the attendant is affiliated with the venue.

Question 2

What is the "MARTA Ticket Confusion Scam" scam in Atlanta?

Accepted Answer

A scammer posing as a helpful local offers to help tourists buy MARTA Breeze cards at kiosks, then overcharges them, shortchanges the loaded amount, or swaps a used card for the new one just loaded. Use the kiosk yourself and shield your card and PIN. Decline unsolicited help. Purchase cards at the official MARTA ticket windows when confused.
