A german friend is going to ring tomorrow. She also thinks it's fake, hopefully I'll now then.

You mean you think it's a scam?

Seems a bit of a waste of time for the scammer, if all they get is 10 euros from each victim they manage to con.

unforeseen

There is more chance of 100 people paying €10 than there is of 10 people paying €100

All sorted. The german friend rang them. It was a mistake, they misread one of the letters.

So it wasn't a fake or a scam ... as suggested earlier it was an error.

Germany will have their own version of the GDPR ... you might want to contact the people who sent the "invoice" to get your details removed as they no longer have any reason to retain them.

Just neglect it. It may be by mistake.

If you read the thread you would see it's all sorted. It was a mistake and was cleared up by a phone call.

It amused me so I thanked it. As did yours. Did my strike me as spam but didn't see the other posts they made.

If it wasn't you reply sayiing it wasn't. Do you have evidence of being somewhere else (i.e. work clock ins etc.) Quite possible your car reg has been cloned.

Not a clone but a simple misread of one letter on the plate.
