Scam - Outstanding Parking Fine

Just checked a old email provider to come across this scam, the government finally has a scam email address for these; [email protected] Which I got from this quick simple guide offical site.

The uk government use to point people to actionfraud.police.uk but they are fucking useless imho though still get linked in all over the place. Probably stolen tens of millions of pounds from tax payers themselves for a system thats like a russian doll exercise.

Final word goes out to protonmail.com who've never allowed a single scam email to my private or public accounts.

Care should be taken with any communication that asks you to share personal or financial information.
