The scam, orchestrated by dozens of towing firms, has been occurring in places motorists often consider the safest areas to park, such as the public lots of major shopping plazas, city Department of Consumer Affairs Commissioner Jonathan Mintz told The Post.
Perhaps the most notorious offender was the now-defunct firm Fastway Towing & Recovery of Brooklyn.
The scam was pulled as often as 20 times an hour, according to the DCA.
