Market Drayton Safer Neighbourhood Team have been made aware of a text message scam doing the rounds telling people that they have a fixed penalty notice that needs paying. 
The text uses a traffic offence code RR84706 which relates to a speeding offence and asks for payment via a link in the message.
We advise not to click on the links and just to delete the message and block the number.
West Mercia Police and other police forces around the country will NOT ask for payment of any fines etc in this way. 
If in any doubt at all a quick check of the senders number will show that the area code for the phone number is for the Philippines - our geographical area is pretty big but we do not cover the Philippines!
