Traffic fine scam

Thousands of holidaymakers are being duped into paying bogus traffic fines due to a hoax targeting tourists in Spain.
On returning to the UK, travellers have been receiving payment requests of approximately 129 euros (86) from a Spanish debt company, DRAYES (Deuda Recuadar Alguacil y Exigir Servicios), which also uses the names MCCREE (Medio Corte Crédito Recoudado Estobar Exigir) – names that  do not mean anything in Spanish and involve invented Spanish words - and WHITE, for fake motoring offences, the nature of which are not specified.
The letter appears to be official, bearing a crest, and quotes bogus legislation by which many have been taken in. 
In addition to the motoring fine, the letter requests further costs in respect of administration and legal fees, threatening court action if not paid by a stipulated deadline.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) believes that information about tourists’ whereabouts could be coming from timeshare lists. It urges anyone who receives notification of a traffic offence in this manner to contact  the Spanish authorities at Dirección General de Tráfico, Josefa Valcárcel, 28, 28071 Madrid: Tel. (0034 91) 301 8411/8413, Fax (0034 91) 301 8196 or e-mail: buzon.nr@dgtrafico.org. Their website address is www.dgt.es
