Police warning over vehicle tax refund fraudsters in Sussex
Police are warning residents in Sussex not to be taken in by cold callers or text messages suggesting they are due a DVLA vehicle tax refund.
One such unsuccessful attempt was made in Sussex late last month and police are aware that there have been some similar reports elsewhere in the county recently, although there are no reports of the attempts being successful.
The resident had a text message which claimed he was owed a DVLA vehicle tax refund. The bogus link site was tax-disc.gov.uk.dvla.mal.pw, which takes you to an equally bogus UK Gov looking site. This site asks for your bank details so they can refund your money direct in to that bank account.
