TV licence holders across the UK are being warned to remain vigilant after a spate of scams relating to the fee.
Action Fraud UK recently warned consumers that cyber criminals are sending out correspondence posing as Government services, asking users to click links which take them to bogus sites which appear legitimate.
The latest round of emails from scammers suggest that a person's TV licence is due to expire soon, and that they should renew immediately online. The sense of urgency can lead to some recipients rashly clicking the fake link, and parting ways with valuable personal details.
