PCN Text Scam Message
PCN Text Scam Message

PCN text scams are fraudulent messages claiming you have an unpaid parking fine, designed to steal financial details via malicious links. Real PCNs are never issued via text; they are only delivered as physical tickets or official letters. If received, do not click, delete immediately, and forward the message to 7726.

About the Scam

  • Common Phrases: "Your parcel could not be delivered," "Action Required," or "Redelivery fee needed".
  • Malicious Links: Clicking leads to a cloned website designed to steal your information.
  • Urgency: Creating panic to make you act quickly without thinking.

Protect Yourself

  • Ignore and Delete: If you are not expecting a parcel, or the message seems suspicious, delete it immediately.
  • Check Directly: Go to the official Evri website to track your parcel, rather than clicking links in text messages.
  • No Payments: Evri will never ask for payment to redeliver a parcel.
  • Report: Forward suspicious messages to 7726.

If you entered your details, contact your bank immediately.
