    Does anything look genuine or have you been conned ??
    What you say about the "2 undercover wardens" & notice are pretty scant.

    Blue Badges are very valuable.

    I would suggest if you now think you've been conned, you have been conned.

    You can only use a BB if the disabled person is with you in the car. You are not allowed to run errands and use the BB on the disabled persons behalf even if you are their carer.

    Badge use is permitted if you are collecting the badge holder.

    We've been through all that, just wanted to know if these "wardens" were genuine, as it seemed like it could be a con.

    If it was a con, it's good that people know.

    I agree with peter999, if these "wardens" aren't genuine and there is a scam people need to know. If they are scammers they will have many ways of persuassion in obtaining blue badges from holders.

    Many have been having a go at yus786 on the wrongs of the father with regard misuse of the blue badge which is a bit unfair - yus786 is not to blame for his actions and has even apologised on his behalf. I for one would appreciate if yus786 could let us know of the outcome of the incident - whether it was genuine or not!

    Were these 'undercover police/wardens' genuine? I find it strange that police or traffic wardens were going round a car park checking blue badge holders as car parks are checked by council wardens and nothing to do with police/wardens.

    yus786, I would appreciate if you could let us know the outcome of this incident. In doing so I would hope that no one here gives you any further abuse. ;)

    Don't shoot the messenger!
