SCAM EMAIL WARNING.
I have received this in a recent email from the Motorcycle Action Group (MAG – It’s well worth joining) This warning is worthy of note.
The warning is copied below (with the original spelling!)
DVLA warns drivers of E-mail scam
The DVLA is today warning the public of an e-mail scam that asks drivers to verify their driving licence details via an online link. The e-mail, which wrongly claims to have been sent from the DVLA, appears to be an attempt to trick drivers into providing personal details.
~~~~~
1. DVLA have not sent out an e-mail asking customers to update or verify their details.
2. The e-mail states that customers should input details to the address http://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/dftverification?driversId=165&view=re3068 but clicking on the link will direct the person to http://topindiangamer.com/dvla
3. The full scam e-mail is shown below:
