Quote - Newsroom DVLA scam email warning Published: Friday, 15 June 2012 Watch out for emails claiming to be from DVLA asking you to verify your driving licence details via an online link – it's a scam. DVLA has not sent any such email, so if you get one delete it immediately. Scam phishing email There is a scam email in circulation which claims to be from the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency). The email asks drivers to verify their personal details via an online link. Quack! Geoff the Duck. |

It's a fairly transparent scam - as so often, spelling gives it away: We sincerely apologise for any inconviniences this might have caused you. No inconviniences here - just a little incontinence from laughing! Phil |
