Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) scam text message

We are aware of a scam where people receive a text message stating they have a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) from the local council and a link to pay it.

This is a scam – we never send texts containing a link to pay for a PCN. You will only receive PCNs as a physical ticket on your vehicle, by post, or handed to you by a Civil Enforcement Officer.

Please ignore these texts and do not click the link to make a payment. You can report scams to the National Cyber Security Centre online or by forwarding the text to 7726.
