    Please all report your cases to CIVEA and Action Fraud. And to your local Police, showing the email from Sara Roberts at thd BPA which confirms this is a scam that Action Fraud should be handling properly.

    Also please give some thought to where you input your car details and home address and name/phone number online, in recent weeks.

    Have you all used the same:

    - car insurance websites?

    - airport parking?

    - new phone app to pay for parking?



    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    ... in recent weeks.

    ...

    In recent months, if not the last year or two.

    If I had been behind this, then the longer play would be, er in play

    BBC WatchDog “if you are struggling with an unfair parking charge do get in touch”


    Please email your PCN story to watchdog@bbc.co.uk they want to hear about it.
    Please then tell us here that you have done so.

    What i am also thinking is this, who ever occupies the address in Question in Burton is involved in one of two ways
    1 the data leak
    2. the parking industry
    3. Or the option which i hope isn't the case, is the landlords address is one the data leaked addresses, but unlikely since he changed his address with companies house about 4 years ago

    I reported to Action Fraud and will do the rest too. 

    I got private hire car insurance quote from Zego and some others recently. I’ve not parked in any airport since I’ve had this car. 

    I haven’t used any new app to pay for parking as I only got this car 6 months ago and didn’t need one yet. Only used RingGo and AppyParking

    Finally, what about alerting the MSE Forum team in case they want to include a warning in their weekly email, pointing to the 2 threads on this scam?

    I've alerted the forum team to this. 
    That would be most helpful

    @Coupon-madIf they were the source of the data leak then would the company then have vicarious liability towards any victims who have paid up?
