Online fraudsters are trying to trick UK riders and drivers with a scam email, pretending to be from the DVLA, asking licence holders to ‘verify your details’. Do not click the link! Thankfully the DVLA have been alerted to the scam, and they’re now warning every man (and any licence holding dogs) not to get sucked into clicking the link.
Here’s the fake email:
From: DVLA <mailto:[email protected]>
Subject: Update Your License Details

there driver’s license details.To complete your license verification with us,

email will lose his or her driver’s License and will have to take a fresh driving test.
We sincerely apologise for any inconviniences this might have caused you.
Thank you for your co-operation.
