Clearly a scam. They texted me on a Sunday when their offices are closed re a parking fine on a car that was my wife's at the time quoted. I'd never owned it and so DVLA wouldn't have my name or in particular mobile number. Didn't pay, no sign of any bailiffs the next day.

It would have been so easy to pay up on Sunday to avoid any worry, and I bet plenty of people do. Outrageous.

I can track down where they got my details though. At the time of the supposed parking offence I was trying to sell the car on my wife's behalf and registered with a number of the 'we buy your car' websites to get an indicative price. Those are the only way my name, address, mobile number and that car reg would have been linked at that time.

So watch out if giving details to that sort of site. One of them is clearly selling on your info to a shady character.

I had the same text yesterday. The date of offence was the very same day I agreed to sell the car in question to an internet advertised motor dealer who had my mobile number etc.

i have had the same text yesterday and im pancing like mad, altho i havent had any parking fines thru my letter box my car wasnt actually registered at my address on the date they say the offence took place, so i wondering wether or not they have sent to the wrong address, i have rang numerous times and sent a number of emails today and ant get thru so just thought about paying it incase i get extra charges. is this definately a scam text? i didnt pay upfront straight away as it was a text on a sunday afternoon whcih i found a bit odd

100% Scam

They maybe just virtual offices.
They work like PO Boxes. Business are registered there but all their mail is forwarded on another address.

JCB. This is definitely a scam. Do not pay them under any circumstances. Must admit it does look quite convincing but several things do not stack up. My car had been SORN off road sat on my drive for months when the alleged offence took place. Also if you try and google this company other than their own website they don't exist.

ive checked it all out, it does seem a scam, reported to police and fraud investigation. the address that they are claiming to be at has no companies under that name there, the website address i have been advised is a fraudulent one and the way they are asking to be paid is also 100% fraudulent
