Scam alert: parking fine text messages

Date

We are aware of a new parking fine scam where people receive a text message stating they have a fine (or Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)) from the local council and a link to pay it. The message suggests the recipient will be prosecuted if they don't pay.

This is a scam - we never send texts containing a link to pay a PCN.

Please ignore these texts and do not click on the link to make a payment.

You will only receive a PCN as a physical ticket on your vehicle, or handed to the driver by a Civil Enforcement Officer.
