Expert Opinion
Beware of unsolicited messages like this one claiming unpaid parking fines—it's a classic phishing ploy. These texts urge you to click dodgy links and share personal details, which scammers use to nick your info or infect your device. Never enter vehicle details or pay via unfamiliar sites; genuine fines arrive via official post from councils or police. Report it straight away to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or forward the text to 7726. Block the number and delete it to stay safe. If worried about real fines, check directly with your local authority's website.
