Our team has been made aware over recent days of more scam text messages notifying the recipient that they need to pay an unpaid parking charge.
The imposed deadline for payment adds an element of urgency and a suggestion that not paying in a timely manner may impact the recipient's credit rating or result in their licence being revoked may result in some recipients worrying or panicking causing them to click on the link in an attempt to resolve the situation.
Anyone who clicks on the link will be taken to a malicious fraudulent website that may try to install malware on your device and capture your payment card details. Be careful about clinking on links within text messages or emails unless you are able to verify their validity.
A colleague who received one of these messages was even added into a group of several recipients, and some people within the group were replying to say that they would make the payment. These messages may even be part of the scam and another social engineering trick to encourage victims to also pay.
Please take the time to speak to family and friends who you think may panic or worry if they receive a message like this and pre-warn then that it is a scam. If you get messages like this, report them to your provider by forwarding them to '7726'.

Mae ein tîm wedi cael gwybod dros y dyddiau diwethaf am fwy o negeseuon testun sgam sy’n hysbysu'r derbynnydd fod angen iddynt dalu ffi parcio sydd heb gael ei dalu.
Mae'r dyddiad cau sy’n cael ei nodi ar gyfer talu yn ychwanegu elfen o frys ac mae’r awgrym y gallai peidio â thalu’n amserol effeithio ar sgôr credyd y derbynnydd neu arwain at ddirymu eu trwydded yn debygol o wneud i rai derbynwyr boeni neu fynd i banig gan wneud iddynt glicio ar y ddolen mewn ymgais i geisio datrys y sefyllfa.
Bydd unrhyw un sy'n clicio ar y ddolen yn cael ei gyrru i wefan dwyllodrus a allai geisio gosod meddalwedd maleisus ar eich dyfais a chipio manylion eich cerdyn banc. Byddwch yn ofalus ynghylch clicio ar ddolenni mewn negeseuon testun neu e-byst oni bai eich bod yn gallu gwirio eu dilysrwydd.
Ychwanegwyd cydweithiwr a dderbyniodd un o'r negeseuon yma at grŵp a oedd yn cynnwys sawl derbynnydd arall o’r neges, ac roedd rhai pobl yn y grŵp yn ateb i ddweud y byddent yn gwneud y taliad. Gallai’r negeseuon yma hyd yn oed fod yn rhan o'r sgam ac yn dric teilwra cymdeithasol arall i annog dioddefwyr i dalu hefyd.
Treuliwch ychydig o funudau os yn bosib i siarad â theulu a ffrindiau yr ydych chi'n credu a allai fynd i banic neu'n boeni os y byddent yn derbyn neges fel hyn a rhybuddiwch fod unrhyw neges o’r fath yn debygol o fod yn sgam. Os cewch negeseuon fel hyn, rhowch wybod amdanynt i'ch darparwr drwy eu hanfon ymlaen i '7726'.
