Police warning over parking fine phone scam

Police say people have been receiving messages about penalty fines

Scammers are targeting people in Jersey by sending fake parking penalty charge notices, say police.

Sates of Jersey Police said the message reads: "If you do not pay a PCN within 28 days, you'll get a 'charge certificate' and you'll have 14 days to pay the original fine plus 50% more."

On a social media post, officers said the text messages included a link.

They added: "If you receive this message, do not follow the link and do not share your information."
