I received this email supposedly to be from the DVLA this morning:
Quote:
Important: Confirmation of your successful
Direct Debit instruction
Dear customer
Vehicle registration number: FG08OEE
Thank you for arranging to pay the vehicle tax by Direct Debit.
Please can you check that the details attached below, and your payment schedule are correct.
If any of the above financial details are incorrect please contact your bank as soon as possible.
However, if your details are correct you don’t need to do anything and your Direct Debit will be processed as normal. You have the right to cancel your Direct Debit at any time. A copy of the Direct Debit Guarantee is included with this letter.
For your information, the collection will be made using this reference, and this is how your payment will be detailed on your bank statements:
DVLA Identifier: 295402
Reference: FG08OEE
Your vehicle tax will automatically renew unless you notify us of any changes. We will send a new payment schedule at the time of renewal.
Yours sincerely
Rohan Gye

If you receive an email like this, please note DO NOT open the attachment! Delete the email immediately!
I have spoken to DVLA, they are aware scammers are using their name and addresses to try and get bank details from unsuspecting victims and are "taking steps" to try to resolve the issue (but they can't tell me what these steps are).
Please be vigilant people and don't trust emails from anyone unless you are expecting them!
