    Get ready, you will get FAKE debt collectors letters next full of most terrifying threats, then Fake solicitors letters
    Then final warning fake solicitors letters, then a final, final warning and then the last tactic now in use, offer to rescind the other charges if you pay the initial amount, this is a new tactic and it is working a treat as people mop their brow in relief having been let off the other hundreds.
    Until one day they realise a scammer has just pressed print 5 times on a mouse and ended up getting what they demanded in the first place.
    The last warning is this:
    Many many people have paid these scams and found themselves targeted for more money and then even more money.
    Like all scammers they come back:
    Whilst we are on with it.
    I have one for you ... Would you pay this ? well it has exactly the same legitimacy as the Fake parking ticket they gave you

    ENJOY :

    WARNING YOU MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY

    NOTICE OF IMPENDING COURT ACTION
    As you are aware Notices and contractual signs are clearly placed around your home on private land.
    As you aware the notices quite clearly state that cats must not be left outside in excess of 3 hours.
    As photographic evidence clearly shows your cat was left outside 3hrs + 7 minutes you are now served with a cat left out excess charge notice;
    YOU MUST NOW : pay £120 to cats left out scams: po box 32 middle of nowhere ls1,1mug
    WARNING Do not Ignore this charge notice:
    failure to pay will result in the charge rising to £150 + £3 per day charges
    If you fail to pay this charge notice we may take court action which may result in court action where you may be served with a county court order : substantial extra costs added to the charge notice and we shall instruct bailiffs to throw your cat in to a plastic shredder.
    Appeal: please write to the above address if you feel this charge is wrong, you should enclose full payment with your appeal.
    If your appeal is successful we will return your cheque.
    YOU MUST NOT IGNORE THIS NOTICE:

    I just wanted to follow up on this, two letters have now been received, one of which contains a page called 'photographic evidence' with two photos of the car, along with date and time. Does this change anything?



    Oooooo, same as the 'evidence' on this fake ticket then?

    Watchdog famous youtube linky with Tim Cary Solicitor

    ...nah, it doesn't change anything, it's all part of the scamogram letter-chain, designed to scare those with more money than sense (or an inability to Google for the truth about fake private parking tickets) into opening their wallet.

    HTH
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
