Tuesday i went to Shrewsbury hospital for my eye tests - came out and looked for parking payment and they were covered over so we thought they were out of order - After driving round hospital car parks we came to the conclusion the new little grey boxes were pay machines - sure enough -looked at screen and saw "Apps" - I don't have any so went and looked for another - It was the same but the screen was live so payed and off we went.
Today got a text for a parking fine payment - pay in 20 days or you will pay more.
Did a load of checking and came to the conclusion it's spam due to what I read on official web site.
Read text again and the composition of the message was a bit off;
How did they know I went to the hospital two days ago.??
 
Thanks all - - words like "you'll " rather than you will - too many "payment" words.

I nearly got caught because of the confusion in not knowing they had updated the parking ticket machines.
 
Had a email back today from Council saying it is definately a scam - If you do have a penalty they send them by post not email or text -but might stick it on your car in street.
Good job I didn't click the link. - I always google now.
