Scammers Are Creating Authentic-Looking Websites

At first glance, these scamming wizards create chillingly authentic replicas of government websites: immaculate logos, pristine branding, and the same font you see at your local council office. Yet, behind this digital illusion is a purpose as clear as daylight—your personal and financial details are their golden prize.

The Golden Rule: Don’t Fall for It

Here's the golden rule to keep scam-free in this perilous text-scape: a bona fide local authority would rather chat by post than text you over parking woes. Stay on your guard and resist the temptation to click on mysterious links or follow misleading instructions. Such links can often carry malware, leaving your device vulnerable and giving these miscreants access to further your woes.
