I received a text supposedly about a driving for £20. Quite threatening legal action. It had links wanting to clicks. I knew I had nothing wrong

I didn’t click scam

I received this one earlier today but I’m not sure if I clicked on the link or not when I was checking it. I contacted the local council who replied that it was a scam as they only send PCNs by post or a ticket on the windscreen.
