People on the Isle of Wight are being warned about an email scam claiming Islanders owe a parking fine.
Trading Standards have received lots of reports of an email purporting to be from the HM Courts and Tribunals Service charging £25 for a Penalty Charge for parking – this will be increased to £100 if not paid within 28 days.
Trading Standards has said it is a scam.
