Drivers have been warned to look out for fake texts and emails from scammers pretending to be the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
Fraudsters are sending bogus messages to motorists in the hopes of scaring them into sharing private information like bank details.
In a warning about the campaign, the DVLA tweeted: "Watch out for 'phishing' text or email messages, like these. DVLA will never ask you to reply, give personal or bank details or ask you to log into an account."
