DVLA Scam !!!!
 

Hi folks I just checked my email`s and have a dodgy one that says it`s from dvla,it starts with dear ( my email address) your vehicle is no longer taxed.DVLA have been notified electronically about you ( their grammer not mine )) latest payment for your vehicle tax failed because there is not enough money on you debit card.We have generated a new invoice and we suggest you use a credit card instead of a debit to avoid any other consequences that might appear in case again won`t be enough funds inside, yours sincerely Rohan Gye vehicle services manager. This was sent to me at 7.35pm 26/03/2021, and although I have recently taxed a vehicle it is over 40 years old so is free. So just letting anybody know this is doing the rounds among others regards Paul

I've received the same email.
Have a read here.https://www.gov.uk/government/news/d...ts-safe-online
There's a link near the end where you can report these..
I did and surprisingly got an email of thanks saying that reporting these emails helps track them down.
Cheers Ian

If you have received an email which you’re not quite sure about, forward it to the Suspicious Email Reporting Service (SERS): [email protected]

These scams give themselves away by their bad grammar.--( They couldn't even spell GRAMMAR correctly.--:eek: )

Just thought i'd add this link from the RAC as it has a few examples of the scam mails.
