unclemike Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 latest one seen, alledgedly from dvla saying not enough money in my account to take direct debit,wording was very suspect;- "The latest payment for your vehicle tax failed because there is not enough money on you debit card. Your vehicle is no longer taxed. We have generated a new invoice, and we suggest you to use a credit card instead of a debit, to avoid any other consequences that might appear in case again won't be enough funds inside." had a look at their link looks like a genuine dvla webpage, isn't , so beware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanessan Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Surely anybody reading that would think it suspect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WherryNice Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I might be wrong but I don't think Direct Debits are taken via debit card which would also make me suspicious even if the wording/grammar didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Your correct Direct Debits only come out pre arranged via your bank accounts. This one with the DVLA,has been doing the rounds for some time.They did it with Marina. If in doubt contact the organisation that the scammers are Pretending to be.Use another phone.Some times they will stay on the phone and pretend to be the bank etc. Or you could tell them .Thank you I'm a Detective Inspector with the met police. Think they would soon put the phone down.😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
