Email asking me renew a subscription that I didn't sign up for
Just got their email saying I should renew my listing, but I never signed up for the service in the first place.
There is no info on where they got my data, and they have not contacted me to approve them using it. Making it look like a it's part of a .gov site concerns me and I certainly will never be signing up for their monthly subscription.

Thank you for your review. The PARISH.UK Network is not a scam. It is a Community Action Initiative (not run by Parish Councils) which includes a low cost online business directory for each UK Parish that local businesses can choose to be included within should they wish. The pages receive high local visitor traffic, due to the unique data presented for each Parish. The listings for business do exist in the business directory pages already, so we simply ask a business if they wish to keep their listing. There is no obligation to do so and a business can choose to either renew or cancel or let the listing expire naturally. The GOV.UK Design System’s code is public and freely available see url (https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/).
Amateur and disingenuous at best, a con at worst.
Where to start?
The website sets out to give you confidence by looking like the gov.uk site.
They try to add further credibility with their 'Community action initiative' link in the footer, that is a 'webarchive.org' link.
They did have 69k visitors to parish.uk in Feb, only 19.4k in Jan and 454 in December, yes, just Four hundred and Fifty Four.
69.45% of their traffic is direct to the site, probably from their email and WhatsApp marketing activities.
Speaking of the emails, they include an unsubscribe link (good) but don't have any sort of data source declaration (bad).
The business listings on their website, well, only some are listed as up for renewal, others are not. You may think this unusual, but I own 2 businesses on my local parish listing and only 1 is up for renewal. I'm guessing the renewal for the other will follow soon.
What I will say is that there is a lot of data on the website that people may find useful, this may be a genuine venture that wants to 'disrupt' the business directory space, but it is starting out in a very, very questionable fashion.

Ignore the responses - SPAM
Ignore the responses.
Complete spam hoping businesses will part with their £2 per month and forget about it. Easy money maker for them.

This is an illegal scam, they have created a website and are spamming people asking for a £2 web listing, they have designed the site to look just like a UK Government site.

Scam! They're sending out emails to business owners asking them to renew a subscription using local town names as subdomains for parish.uk (e.g. your-town.parisk.uk). DO NOT fall for this scam

Just another opportunistic scam…
Just another opportunistic scam hammering me with a .gov looking website
1. The listings are not cheap. Given sites like Yell carry the same details for free and have actual legitimate traffic
2. I never registered with you but the emails all are worded to imply that my existing listing is about to expire and I need to renew (and not that I’m a first time subscriber) clearly intended to coerce people into thinking it’s something they already signed up to.
3. If it’s not related to to .gov or even parish councils then why use the .gov template other than to imply an undue legitimacy. It’s certainly not for the functionality or aesthetic quality.
4. In the highly unlikely event this isn’t an attempt to skim businesses for micropayments and it’s an actual legitimate attempt at a web service it’s still so poorly executed as to be a 0 star review.

This is a scam website
This is a scam website. I was sent a SMS out of the blue to 'renew' my business listing. I don't have a business listing on this website or in this area. Avoid!
