Wrexham drivers warned over Penalty Charge Notice payment scam

Drivers in Wrexham are being warned of scam texts and emails asking for Penalty Charge Notice payments.

It comes after reports of members of the public receiving an SMS message stating that they have a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) with a link to make a payment.

A spokesperson for Wrexham Council said: “We are aware of a scam where people are receiving text messages stating they have a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) with a link to pay.

“This is a scam, Wrexham Council will never text or email you about a PCN.

“You will only receive a PCN as a physical ticket on your vehicle or a letter to the registered keeper address associated with the vehicle.

“Please ignore these texts and do not click the link to make a payment.”
