Poytaxt Parking warns Tashkent residents about fake SMS about parking debt
Poytaxt Parking, the operator of Tashkent's paid parking, reported that residents of the capital are receiving SMS messages on its behalf demanding payment for allegedly unpaid parking. The company stated that it does not send such notifications.
According to the company, the messages come from numbers with international codes of the Philippines (+63) and Morocco (+212), but it is not excluded that other numbers may be used. The recipient is informed about a debt for parking and offered to follow a link that externally resembles the address of the official website, but is not related to the service. If the "debt" is not paid, the senders threaten to restrict access to the service's services.
Poytaxt Parking advises deleting such SMS messages, not opening links, and not providing either bank card details or vehicle number. For those who have already entered their details, the company recommends immediately contacting their bank and blocking the card. The status of payment, according to the operator, can only be found out in the official Poytaxt Parking application, and with questions, you should contact the phone number 78-113-67-00 or the support bot in Telegram.
Kursiv Uzbekistan noted that according to the public agreement, the operator can indeed notify the user of a debt, and if payment is not received within 24 hours, it can close part of the service's functions for them. The agreement proposes paying off the debt in the official application or other methods provided by the system. Paid parking in Tashkent started operating in test mode in May 2025.
What it means
To check for parking debt in Tashkent, according to Poytaxt Parking, you can only do so in the official application of the service. If card details have already been entered on a third-party website, the company recommends immediately contacting the bank and blocking the card. The support service is available at 78-113-67-00 or the Telegram bot.
