AI Summary
Based on 19 community reports
This UK mobile number, registered with Vodafone, is frequently associated with scam text messages claiming you owe money for parking fines. Reports consistently mention that the sender knows your vehicle registration number, but provides no details about where or when the supposed parking violation occurred. Some people have received demands for payment via text or email, often for a significant amount like £170, even though they received no prior official letters or warnings. Several users have tried calling back and were met with evasive responses when asking for more information, with one user reporting that the caller hung up when pressed. It is strongly advised not to engage with these messages or call back; consider this a parking fine scam.

Pattern detected: Parking fine or penalty charge scam

Parking scam call they knew my right reg number but I never got any letters or fines on my windscreen. They also didnt give details about when or where this hapened. Definately seems like a scam and wouldnt risk phoning them back!

I got a text saying I owe £170 right away for parking, but I didn't know about it and got no official letters. They knew my car details and number but not my address or where I parked. Seems dodgy as I don't know how they got some of my details. Maybe from hacking an app?

It does not prove that the registered owner of the number made the call or text. Community reports describe individual experiences and are not official confirmation of a scam.
