TV licence

It is a scam Gingster. How would they have your email?

I've just googled this and apparently there is an email scam going around regarding the TV Licence. If you're concerned, I would either check the TV Licence website or give them a call. Don't click on any links in the email.

Yes, a scam. Do not click on any of the links in the mail.

I haven't had one recently but at one time I was getting several every week. They quoted some fictitious customer reference number and told me that I had not paid and I was liable to be fined if I didn't follow the link and make a payment right away.

Fortunately, I earmark my annual receipts and I pay by DD so I was able to refer back to my latest receipt and the customer reference they quoted was nothing like the one on my genuine e-mail receipt. I reported it as a scam several times before I stopped receiving the messages.

I hope this is helpful.

I pay for my tv licence and also for both DDs by direct debit, so when I got this ‘scam’, I checked that the monthly payments were being made and ignored it.

Yes we pay by Dd.
Thanks everyone, I did think it was a scam

I had this yesterday. Binned it pronto.

Sounds like a scam. I wouldn’t be paying it anyway, wouldn’t watch the BBC on principle. You can get their news free and that is all you need really.
