Scammers are targeting drivers in a new bogus parking ticket scheme which is costing motorists up to £120. A concerned resident in Peckham, South London, says the Sunday ticket was "surprising" because his local parking restrictions don't apply on weekends.He said: "After examining the ticket closely, it became clear that it was a fake, designed to deceive residents into paying fines to a bogus company.
The scam ticket was emblazoned with "parking charge notice," while the actual ticket read "penalty charge notice." Hoping to dispute both fines, he turned to the internet for advice. He told LBC he knew the ticket was bogus after a Reddit user in a legal advice subreddit told him the company that issued the fine was unregistered.The upset motorist also tried to call the number provided by "Parking Measure Control" but was unable to reach anyone.
