Which I got last week. From my Bike tax. Banks closed. So used the online banking app I always use. The phone takes a picture of the cheque & bobs your uncle. Money in the bank. Tech eh.

I just got a text from PayPal suggesting the account is blocked and follow this link to unblock, was a paypal.secure5.com, the link looked really realistic, thankfully I went to a new page and logged in, no messages on my account.

Forwarded the text contents to spoof@paypal.com along with the number it was sent from. They are getting really convincing now!

Never thought I would look forward so much to setting up my direct debits to DVLA. Means I can take my cars off SORN and start driving them🤗

Just made me think how lucky we are with DVLA's SORN process, I don't have the same option for my Spanish cars💰

"DVLA. Your outstanding vehicle tax refund from an overpayment is pending. Please visit our secure link to process" followed by an extremely dodgy-looking link.

I wonder how many unwary souls will be caught out.
Yes I've had two. It was before I bought the F-Type so before Nov 19. The first alarm bell was that one of my cars costs £20 per year and the other is a lease where Audi pay the RFL. Second alarm was that there was no registration number to reference it to. The email address and web-link URL looked convincing though but in my circumstances it wasn't difficult to see it's scam spam.
My dad however...... :o
