Scam Alert – Parking PCNs

People are reporting receiving text messages advising of a Penalty Charge Notice which requires immediate payment. Please be vigilant for “phishing” red flags that may include referring to the PCN as a parking penalty charge notice, describing a “local council” without naming the council, and a suspicious link. Once a debt is passed to our Enforcement Agents, they will send payment links where they hold a mobile number. This message will show the customer payment portal, Rundles, as the sender as opposed to a mobile number seen in the scam texts.
