New(?) parking scam.

Post by DevonPaul » Thu Aug 31, 2023 6:08 pm

Seen this around a few times in the last day or so, not sure if it is more of a scare story than real, but for those who think their phones are a good way of paying for things it might be one to keep an eye out for.

Wondering if I should create my own, perhaps a fake parking system page where when you enter your reg it tells your your car is also parked elsewhere and Police are on their way to confiscate it.

Or perhaps a QR that links to my Onlyfans site.

Thank you, passed it on to my family :thumbsup: The Dartmoor car parks have started putting in parking machines and at one there was a parking sign with a number to ring to pay. We never did :roll: However a few weeks ago it disappeared and has never returned. Could this also have been a scam. Legally as far as I know they have to be by the entrance and this one wasn't.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
