Visited a friend yesterday who has a couple of lorries which deliver food stuffs. As I was talking to him I noticed a Parking Eye scam voice on his desk with a cheque for £90 waiting to be signed and posted!:eek:
Now this man is worldly wise and I didn't think he would be caught out with one of these. When I looked it was for spending 2h 45 mins on Warwick Services, luckily I caught him in time told him to ignore them told him what to expect and said sign the cheque over to me! (He didn't):o
What really surprised me was he was going to pay it in the first place, anyway he has been educated for the future.
Sorry (not) Parking Eye deprived you of £90 there!:D

With a couple of lorries I bet its more than £90 you have saved him.I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Good work detective
Hopefully he won't give in to the 'intimidating' letter chain.0
