    a friend got a parking ticket on patricks street. Perfectly normal. But there was another note on his windscreen saying "call me about the ticket" with a phone number. He text him back asking who it was, and the response was that " I like to help a fella out". So has anyone heard of this happening before? Has altruism reached new heights or is this some sort of scamola I haven't heard of ?

    I doubt very much it was the traffic warden who left the note with the number. Probably just some chancer who's enjoys playing pranks on folk.

    Interfering with a parking ticket is an offence, if this gets weird then report them.

    It's a scam. Tell him to pay his parking ticket and give in the number when he is paying for it.

    Heard of that happening in London or somwhere in Uk where a scammer plavces an official looking note on windscreens whereby the receiver can pay on the phone for half the ticket price. They are asked to submit credit card details.... and the rest is history
