UKPC Phishing Emails

I've recently been getting quite a few "PCN" emails from various email addresses alluding to be related to UKPC. Each of these has a ZIP file attached purporting to have a copy of the PCN and photos etc. (No - I'm not stupid enough to open any such file).
Anyone else been getting these recently?
Coincidentally they seem to have started since I joined the Fight Your Parking Ticket group on Faceache, albeit the emails are coming to different email addresses than the one I use for my Faceache account so it must only be coincidence.

Personally I think they should forwarded to the real UKPC and let them sort out the mess.
After all, they are as genuine as a UKPC photograph.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.

I don't think there is any suggestion that the email address data used is as a result of a UKPC data breach.0 -
I had one a few months ago (before Christmas 2016, I think) - I posted about it on here.I've recently been getting quite a few "PCN" emails from various email addresses alluding to be related to UKPC.
