Here’s a scam that’s custom-made for residents of the Town of Arnprior!
It is NOT TRUE that the Town is sending out email and text messages trying to collect on fees you may have forgotten about for unpaid parking fines.
If you receive a text message or email like this, please do not engage with the sender or click on any links- they are from scammers.

If you suspect you have a fine you may have forgotten about, email to clerks@arnprior.ca
The Town will only communicate regarding unpaid parking tickets via letter to the registered address of the offending plateholder as per the Ontario Ministry of Transportation database.
This is a good reminder that if you get an unsolicited phone call, email or text message asking you to click a link or open an attachment, don’t do it. Scams and cybercrimes can happen to anyone, if you have been a victim of a scam, fraud or cybercrime, please contact your local police as soon as possible, or get in touch with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
