Important Patient Notice Regarding Parking Scams
We have become aware that some patients have received fraudulent text messages claiming to be Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) after using third-party payment apps to pay for parking at Estuary View Medical Centre.
Please be reassured: Horizon Parking will never issue a Parking Charge Notice via SMS and the message you have received is a scam.
To minimise the risk of falling victim to these scams, we recommend paying at the payment machines located outside the medical centre. This allows you to print a receipt without entering your mobile number or any personal details.
We have reported this matter to Horizon Parking, who are investigating with the relevant third-party providers.
Thank you.
