Inteligent spamming?????

I've just receieved the following email. Check the dates. It must have been a tardis that I had parked there Unfortunately there are lots of people out there that fall for these scams

REMINDER NOTICE DO NOT IGNORE
To:

Case: C2257763
Please print attached form and fax it to +44 020 6443 1199

Your vehicle was recorded parked on our Clients Private Property driveways on the 15.05.2014 and remained on site for 2 hour 22 min. A notice was sent to you on 10.04.2014 which gave 28 days to pay full PARKING CHARGE or challenge the issue.

The amount of £74.00 is now due if payment not received within 28 days, an additional 40.00 administration charge will be incurred. Failure to pay the full outstanding balance within 14 days of the date of this notice could result in the outstanding balance being registered as a debt against you. You will also become liable for additional costs and interest invoiced. Your ability to obtain credit in the future could be affected.

Check attached document for more information.

We are holding photographic evidence on file to support this claim.
The Ministry of Justice gathers information relating to site usage. Any information gathered is primarily for internal use to allow us to refine and improve our customer service.

No link clicking involved. They rely on people assuming the email is real and pay the money BUT if you look at the dates they claim they sent out the first email about the 'parking offence' before the offence took place. The scammers got this one wrong!
