All TV Licence holders have been placed on red alert after the rapid escalation of email scams targeting UK homes. Action Fraud, which closely monitors cyber crime, says it received over 3,400 reports of TV cons in just two weeks.
If that wasn't bad enough, concern has also been raised by just how official the messages look and the consequences of falling for the scam.
According to Action Fraud, those clicking on the links included within the email are taken to websites where they are then asked to hand over personal data and financial details such as credit card or bank account numbers.
