STAFF at a city swimming pool are alerting customers to a scam parking text which is nothing to do with the company that manages its car park.

Staff at Lower Wick swimming pool in Weir Lane in Lower Wick, Worcester, have alerted customers to the text and warned them not to click on the link.

They put out a post via Facebook, warning customers and explaining that the text was a 'scam'.

A spokesperson for the swimming pool said: "We have been made aware of a SCAM text message that is circulating at the moment.

"Please be aware that this is nothing to do with Smart Parking (the company in charge of our car park) as they do not have access to your phone number.

Please DO NOT click the link, ignore any text message that does not come from us directly at the pool."

The Worcester News understands the text has yet to be reported to police or Action Fraud.
