TV Licence Renewal scam

Today I received the following email from purporting to come TV Licensing support

Oops! Something went wrong with your payment.
Dear Client

This may have been caused by a lack of information we may currently hold.
Keeping up with your payments is important, as we may be forced to cancel your licence or pass your details to a debt collection agency.

Well I almost fell for it but luckily I knew I paid by DD not credit card and that my licence did not expire until July 2019. Nowadays , like 83% of TV licence holders I do not ask for a paper copy as my licence is held securely by https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk. That's fine but you need to keep a record of your TV licence Number somewhere so you can check up when the licence is due online

The redirect on the link asked me for credit card details, address etc.so I soon smelt a rat!!

As always – think before you click on a link
