Drivers Duped by Dodgy Fake Fines Scam
Motorists Hit with Bogus Penalty Notices
Drivers across the UK are being targeted by a sneaky scam involving fake traffic fines. Scammers send bogus penalty notices, hoping to catch unsuspecting motorists out of pocket.
How the Scam Works
The fake fines often arrive as official-looking letters or emails, demanding payment for alleged speeding or parking offences. They use fake logos and official jargon to trick their victims into coughing up cash fast.
Don’t Get Caught Out!
- Check the sender’s details carefully.
- Always verify fines through official channels.
- Never hand over money without confirming the fine is genuine.
One victim said,
“I nearly paid up before realising the fine was a total con.”
Stay sharp and don’t fall for these fake fines. Report suspicious notices to the police and the DVSA immediately.
