The DVLA has issued a warning to the public about scams asking motorists to provide personal details and confirm credit card details.
Members of the public are receiving emails, texts and telephone calls claiming to be from DVLA.
Links to a website which is designed to look like a DVLA online service are sometimes included in the message.
The DVLA warns that it does not send emails or text messages with links to websites, asking the public to confirm personal details or payment information – and is advising that anyone who receives such a request should not open the link and should delete the email.
The Cabinet Office’s Government Digital Service (GDS) is investigating reports of organisations which may be actively misleading users about their services or acting illegally – and can take action where necessary.
DVLA services can be accessed by using the online driving licence or vehicle tax transactions on GOV.UK.
