The NASTY New Scam That's Scouring East Sussex Motorists For THOUSANDS - Are You Next?

Motorists in East Sussex are being warned about a new parking fine scam that's circulating in the area. The scam, which has already caught out several unsuspecting drivers, involves fraudulent parking tickets being issued to vehicles. The scammers are using fake parking fine notices that appear to be legitimate, complete with official-looking logos and fines.

The scam typically begins with the driver receiving a parking fine notice, often with a hefty fine attached to it. The notice will usually include a deadline for payment, as well as a warning of further action if the fine is not paid. However, upon closer inspection, the notices have been found to be fake, with many containing spelling mistakes and poor grammar.

The scammers behind the scam are using various tactics to convince drivers to part with their cash. Some have been found to be using fake payment websites, which appear to be legitimate but are actually set up to steal the driver's financial details. Others have been found to be cold-calling drivers, demanding payment over the phone.

Motorists in East Sussex are being warned to be vigilant when it comes to parking fines. If you receive a parking fine notice, do not pay it immediately. Instead, take a closer look at the notice and check for any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. You should also contact the local parking authorities to verify the authenticity of the fine.

Furthermore, drivers are advised not to give out their financial details over the phone or on unofficial websites. Legitimate parking fine notices will always include details of how to appeal the fine, as well as information on how to pay it securely. If you are unsure about a parking fine notice, do not hesitate to contact the authorities.

The police in East Sussex are investigating the scam and are urging anyone who has been affected to come forward. In the meantime, motorists are advised to remain vigilant and to be cautious when it comes to parking fines.
