DVLA and TV Licence scam warning as fraudsters start sending 'urgent' emails

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Scammers are trying to defraud people out of money while pretending to be official government organisations such as TV Licensing and the DVLA.

Emails which have the logos and branding of these organisations may appear legitimate at first glance, but there are certain signs that they are fake.

As is often the case, the emails will ask recipients to act urgently in an attempt to reduce the likelihood that they will take time to verify the messages.

They also encourage users to click on unknown links that could contain malware, which would then be downloaded onto your device.
