Fraudulent PCN text messages

We are aware of scam text messages being sent to West Northamptonshire residents. They are fraudulently claiming that residents have been issued a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) and must follow a link to pay a fine. 

Be aware that we never issue PCNs via text. 

If anyone has received a genuinely issued PCN from us, it will have been: 

• on their vehicle when they have returned to it (parking PCN)
• via the post with photographic evidence (bus lane offence and/or moving traffic offence)

Please ignore any text messages you receive regarding the issuing of a PCN.
