DRIVERS in Burntwood are being warned of a woman issuing fake parking fines.

Police say they have received reports about the individual in a high-visibility coat posing as a Civil Enforcement Officer.

A spokesperson said she was issuing false fines.

> “When looking at paying the parking ticket the victim is taken to an Apple wallet to make the payment online.  
>  
> “The woman was spotted close to Highfield Primary School in Burntwood, but we suspect this is a new scam trend that may start happening more widely.   
>  
> “Please be reminded that you will only receive a penalty charge notice at the scene by a Civil Enforcement Officer by being fixed to the vehicle or handed to the person appearing to be in charge of it.  
>  
> “You will only receive it by post if enforcement is by camera or the officer was prevented from serving it at the scene.  
>  
> “If in doubt always ask for identification and never give out banking or financial details without talking to the company or council and your bank directly through their official channels.”
