Hello, I've just received an obvious scam email saying the payment for my TV licence has failed, and I need to pay now (yeah right !), the latter part of the email address it came from had an Indian womans name followed by artweinspire.com, no mention of my name, and I pay for TV licence by DD, which is not short of funds, email now deleted, so be alert folks, the third time this year people have tried (unsuccessfully) to scam me !.........wink

Desperados. Not intelligent ones,either.

Well spotted, Cillafan! You ticked every warning sign: no name, a strange sender address, and "pay now" pressure. 👏

I have a couple a day from these people saying my payment has failed! Rubbish. I have a direct debit and it went through this week.

Yes I’ve had these too.
Ignore them!
