It was only a few weeks ago when I blogged about a car tax scam a friend sent me, when this morning a different friend sent me a different DVLA Car Tax Scam!
Red flags;
Email is obviously not right
If you hover over the button it goes here: hXXps://taxreminderservicewebbapps.urbanconcepto.com/?alwasyw – doesnt look very government-y does it!
Its also not addressed to my friend – “Dear Vehicle Owner”
Etc….
The button takes you to a fake website, interestingly after I had visited the website once, it would not let me view it again. I did try clearing cache and changing IP and it still didnt work, but then i switched to my phone and it worked again. They had screenshot blocking technology on the website so I had to take photos of it on a different phone. This made me feel about 78 years old but I didnt have time to get it working on my laptop again so I could take proper screenshots haha.
Same as usual though, fake website on a hacked domain, once you fill those details out it will send them to someone and then boom, you are short a few ££ in your bank account.
Take your time and read things, look out for red flags and if you are unsure – give me a shout 🙂
