Parking Fine Scam

We have received the following from HDC:

To make you aware, there is a national scam text going round saying “Pay your fine.”

This appears to have begun recently, and HDC were made aware of three members of the public who reported the scam. The District Council has since put out social media posts on this subject.

We received reports that some residents are being sent text messages claiming that they have received a Parking Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) from a ‘local council’.

Please be aware that Huntingdonshire District Council will never contact you via text regarding PCNs.

We believe these messages to be part of a national wide scam.

If you receive such a text do not click on any links or provide any personal information.
