We are being warned not to fall for emails claiming to be from the HM Courts and Tribunals Service.

They are trying to charge £25 for a parking Penalty fine.

The email says that will be increased to £100, if it is not paid within 28 days.

Complete with a link to pay, the Isle of Wight’s Trading Standards team is warning it is a scam.

The team says:

  • Legitimate organisations will NEVER contact you in this way
  • NEVER click on links in emails and texts
  • Scam emails can be forwarded to the Suspicious Email Reporting Service on report@phishing.gov.uk
