Next To LENOX SQUARE MALL's 'American Apparel Parking Lot'
Scam Towing Fee with Unnoticeable sign

It's the day after Thanksgiving and there are sales all over the mall. A mall that is 45 minutes to an hour away from home. I went there with my mom and we couldn't find parking in front of the Lenox Square Mall so we parked in the plaza with American Apparel right next to it. We walked to the mall and spent very few hours and spent about 30 bucks. Then we come out to go back to our car and the next thing we know. We have a bright orange ticket on the driver's window and a shoe around our tire telling us that our car is immobilized and cannot be driven off for it has been shoed to be towed for leaving the property.

This was our first time parking there and there were several (100s) of other cars that were also ticketed for towing b/c they left the property. Turns out it's a private property plaza. The 2 white men in a big white truck, took our money - $50 to be let go (you can pay by cash, credit/debit card) which was more than I intended to spend and I DON"T HAVE MONEY - and they told us that the signs are everywhere.

NUMBER ONE: The signs were on poles and were angled not towards us. So OF COURSE we wouldn't look up and read it! They were higher up and if they were put at a lower, more readable area then we obviously would not park there and leave! They are white boards with gray, mediocre bold fonts and a wee bit high to even have me say. "OH HEY LOOKIE THERE! WE'LL BE TOWED if we leave the property"

AND TWO: Noone's stupid to not ignore a clearly written sign.

The other thing is. The way they worded the sign. It was not very clear. I'll take a picture and send it to you when I get the chance to go there again. If they had it in bold red letters IF YOU PARK HERE AND LEAVE PROPERTY YOU CAR WILL BE TOWED. But Noooooooooooooo! They WATCH YOU to see if you're gonna be leaving the property and then tag your car for towing. It was freakin' day after Thanksgiving where people go there to spend their money on sales! They didn't even WAIVE the fee even if we were first timers!

Whoever that rich bastard is for scamming all those people including me, he should pay all of us back and more! Even my friends agreed that THAT was a SCAM!

Please. Help me out.
