DVLA scam email warning

The Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA) has issued a warning asking all provisional driving licence as well as full british pink holders to be aware of fake emails claiming to be from DVLA asking you to verify your driving licence details via an online link!

This is a scam, the DVLA has not sent out any such email, so if you get one delete it immediately without opening.

This is a Scam phishing email which appears to be an attempt to trick bona fide licenced drivers into providing personal details which could then be used for fraudulent activities or identity theft. If you get any email simiar to the one below, delete it immediately.
