Scammers are becoming very clever indeed, they can spoof phone numbers, websites and email addresses…this one came from what was a very good TV licencing e-mail….
But there are a lot of give-aways – 8 at least – I will let you see if they can be spotted….

Dear (real e-mail address scammed)
Something went wrong with your payment.
We’re sorry to let you know that the TVLicence could not be automatically renewed.
We tried to take the latest payment from your bank account but we encountered an error, so you must pay the amount by setting up a new Direct Debit.
Renew your licence before it expires on Friday, 29 May 2020 to avoid prosecution.

If you don’t keep up with your payments, we may be forced to cancel your licence or pass your details to a debt collection agency.
