Ved Scam

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Edge_of_Town, Aug 31, 2020.

  1. Wifey received an email from DVLA today informing her that her Direct Debit payment for car tax had bounced due to insufficient available funds.
    It didn’t identify the vehicle concerned, but gave a link to make immediate payment by credit card.
    It all looked good except for one thing? Wifey doesn’t have a vehicle registered in her name since she sold her Honda a couple of years ago, so there are no payments being made.
    Closer inspection shows the sender of the email to be DVLA Electronic Vehicle Licensing using an address of Jorgebo at hotmail.com

    It’s a Scam.

    I’m wondering whether to spam the email account? What do youse all think?
     
  2. We got that one too
     
  3. SPAM the fuck out of it:upyeah:

  4. There are a few going around. I get the DVLA one, TV License one and had one yesterday about a refund for council tax. If you hover the curser over or click the sender e.g DVLA it will reveal the senders email address...You’ll know straight away it’s dodgy
    See below pics.....
    I don't think the GOV.UK uses hotmail or uses T.V licence motif

  10. Today’s scam email was from the ‘DVLA’.
    Clues: Bad grammar, bogus web address, required bank details. They must think I’m stupid!

    Our IT dept at work regularly sends out spam click-bait messages to keep us on our toes. If you regularly click, you have to do a compulsory refresher training course. Oh, the shame!
