DYFED Powys Police is urging residents to not respond to a parking scam which has targeted local residents.

“If you’ve received an email from H M Courts and Tribunal Service telling you that you have a penalty charge notice it is most likely a scam as they are not sending these out,” said a police spokesman.

“The criminals are trying to get you worried. Do not click on the box which say ‘click here to pay’ and do not click on the telephone number.

“Delete the email immediately and tell your family and friends - the more people who know this is a scam, the fewer victims there will be,” she said.
