    This has nothing to do with Parking.

    This is a forum that deals with private parking tickets so you're unlikely to find much help here.

    However, if you believe that you have been the victim of a crime then you should report the incident to the police. You can do that by visiting your local station or by calling the non-emergency number 101.

    Are monthly tickets transferable? I didn’t think that they were.

    No rail tickets are transferrable, though this is mostly impossible to enforce for most simple single/return tickets. You are allowed to buy a ticket for somebody else.

    In any case you need a photocard for monthly tickets.

    Some transport network tickets that are valid on trains may be transferrable.

    Some people just deserve to get scammed.

    Why on earth would you think it's legit
