    Anyone had a txt saying you have a parking ticket fine & warning that you must pay?

    BTW, I know it's a scam, just wondered if anyone else has had one.

    Not had that one yet did get an email telling me I had been caught speeding and a link to click on. I was curious as to how the scam worked so Used an old pc running Linux to click the link and it’s asked me to put in my reg number before giving me a speeding notice and a link to pay. I didn’t put my car in new but one I knew was for sale at a dealers. I guess some must fall for it though

    yesterday I got a call from some claims department about the accident I was recently involved in
    Was tempted to ask which one but just hung up

    I got the accident one at work once as I worked front of house. I sounded really grateful then asked which of the ten accidents they were referring to. Cue hasty hang up from the supposed claims department !
