My son has received the same letter. Obviously fake and the email address replies are very poor and very bad English.  You cannot charge £600 for a car parking fine which has no origin and no previous correspondence of any description. Disgusting scam.

Was there anything on the envelope

This is what was on my envelope that we got

I reported to action fraud earlier after reading posts on here , I was just about to pay them as my son had recently had a few fines so it wasn't out of the ordinary , good thing I decided to do a quick Google first !! 

And so many would have already paid

As i said previously how many have received these  panicked and paid

Whilst this scam does not appear to be associated with any parking trade association, it is my belief and opinion that the existence of this unregulated scam is as a result of the actions of the unregulated private parking industry. One poster has already said they thought it was genuine at first because their relative has previously received other charges.

In my opinion, everyone who receives one of these scamvoices should also complain to their MP about the scam, as well as the reason for the scam's existence.

I also believe they should be mentioned during the next government consultation. 

Other opinions are available.

I only joined this site today but have to give thanks and respect to some of the people posting on here, the digging and highlighting some of you guys have done have saved some people from stress worry and paying out. Eye opener.

FYI ... UK Insurance Limited is the parent company of Direct Line, so that appearing on a credit report as a soft trace is not in any way fraudulent.

UK Insurance are the underwriters for a lot of insurance companies in the UK.

If you try the link with https: at the start, you get a "Privacy error" in Google Chrome - Rowlinson Rainbow need to get their SSL sorted out otherwise they won't appear in the first pages of search results, which is where they need to be for this, since Google said a few years ago that they'd be prioritising "https:" in search results for user privacy protection.
