More than one person has sent me this. Dont know if it works but thought it may be worth sharing.
I am not one to encourage criminal activity but then again........Pay your fine, but, NO POINTS DEDUCTED, !!Read on :- This is how the points get added to your license:
If you get a fixed penalty notice through the post which also carries penalty points the computer system first sends you a demand for the cash.
When you have paid, it then sends a demand to return your license for endorsement.
It cannot handle the license endorsement and the payment at the same time, and it cannot process the points part of the system until the financial section is complete.
If you overpay the fixed penalty, it must issue and send a refund cheque for the overpayment. Therefore, overpay the fixed penalty by sending a cheque for the full amount plus £1.
The computer will then automatically generate a refund cheque for the over-payment and send it to you.
**** Do not cash this refund cheque - DUMP IT. The system then remains 'open' and cannot generate the 'send your licence for endorsement' demand part of the program.
It does, however, record your payment of the fixed penalty, so it does not trigger the 'follow-up unpaid fine' stage.
As there is no human intervention, the system will leave you alone, since it has got your money, which is the primary objective!

Heard about this before as well and have been told that it doesn't work!!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Doesn't work.
By the time we hear of any 'scams' the police (or whoever deals with the fines and points) have already rectified this.
Worst case you go to court, perverting the course of justice or something!

can't see this working, the envelope you send the cheque in has to be opened by a person, they will notice the error and just send it back
