Just giving you all a heads up on the latest scam doing the rounds.

It takes the form of an email purportedly from "justice.gov.uk" along the lines of the following:

REMINDER NOTICE DO NOT IGNORE Your vehicle was recorded parked on our Clients Private Property at = Katherine Road driveways from 12.13.23PM to 14.40.36PM on the 11.02.2014 and remained = on site for 2 hour 27 min. A notice was sent to you on 6.03.2014 which gives 28 days to pay full = PARKING CHARGE or challenge the issue. The amount of £70.00 is now dueIf payment not received within 28 = days, an additional 40.00 administration charge will be incurred.Failure to pay the full outstanding balance = within 14 days of the date of this notice could result in the outstanding balance being registered as a debt against you. You = will also become liablefor additional costs and interest invoiced. Your ability to obtain credit in the future could be = affected. We are holding photographic evidence on file to support this claim. YOU CAN FIND COPIES OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE AND FORMS FOR MAKING PAYMENT IN ATTACHMENT BELOW.

This is a scam.

DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT - it contains malware (likely some sort of keylogger).
