Brighton. NOT KEMPTOWN!
I got two emails today, see one below. Apparently, as is "started" on the notice, the exact location where my offence took place was "United Kingdom"! I must be guilty, because that is exactly where I was at the time!!
I won't be clicking on the link to pay. I won't be phoning the number, which strangely is unavailable.
I will be ignoring these emails and blocking the sender.

If anyone actually falls for that they deserve to lose £25 and have their debit card spanked by an Albanian or Nigerian fraudster.

Location of offence: United Kingdom.

A tad...shit.

Getting more elaborate all the time and I guess they only need to suck in a small percentage to make it worth their while.
