I have had an e- mail notice from "DVLA" ::) stating my car is not taxed :-\ and I will be fined £80
Only have the one car . . .the omega which has been on SORN since 19.3.20.
DVLA site shows this as sorned . Tried to contact DVLA but it seems unless you are a Key worker you cannot call or e mail or even contact them at all .
Omega shows as SORN Swmbo's 2 cars are shown as taxed , so just gonna ignore it .
Any thoughts or advice guys ?

Phishing scam, SWMBO has had two, despite the direct debit going out of her account.
IIRC you get one e-mail per year from the DVLA confirming your next twelve months payments.
I think the e-mail address looked dodgy too with the gov being in capitals.

Yes, it is yet another scam. >:( >:(
Just ignore it :y

Told you to pay that parking fine.

Thats the one >:(

If you hover your mouse pointer over the links in the email Do not click them, you can see what URL they are sending you to. If it isn't a gov.uk address, it's fake.
If you needed another pointer, I bet it doesn't include your reg number. EVERY letter/email referring to a vehicle from the DVLA will contain at least a partial VRM.

i had an email from my bank warning me about a message regarding tv licenses apparently scammers are trying it on, wanting address & post code & bank details.

Had that one a few weeks ago re the T/V licence. Looked very official too. Even before the old farts extension i wasn,t going to get one before the very last knockings. ;D

Yes I've had the TV licence email as well. ::)

I'm so glad I don't fall for those scams. I'm just waiting on my $17.8million from a Nigerian prince, should arrive any day now....

:P Hi Stemo, hope you`re keeping well :y
I never heard another thing about the parking charge, after all I was parked on a public road and they had no right to desecrate my Datsun like that ;D
It also helped when the head of parking for York City Council got involved and sent them an e-mail stating as such ;D
