The City of Penticton only issued 10 warnings and a few tickets this summer for over parking at Okanagan beach. Last year the city implemented parking changes that limit parking to three hours at the beach from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily from June to September. (Black Press file photo)

A potential scam requesting payment for unpaid parking tickets has made its way to Penticton, bylaw officials have learned.

Penticton city officials issued a warning to residents this week over the scam, which they say is being done via text message.

"To be clear, the city will not send you a text message asking for payment," the warning reads. "We will send you a letter on official letterhead ahead asking you to pay any unpaid tickets."
