Morning all. This is a daft place to put this alert but I know we have members who haven't got access to the studio weekly chats etc., and I feel it's important - I nearly fell for it myself.
So.... this morning I went onto my email account and as I glanced through them, there was one that said "Driving Stardards Agency" Urgent application attention needed.
I clicked on and there, full Government logo headed, was an urgent message about my application information being inconsistent and I urgently needed to click onto and update with up-to-date details or my license would become void!! then there followed pages & pages of information about Covid etc..
I thought what information of mine do I have to update?? I didn't click the link and came out of it. Then I went back & re-read it all.
I came off again & hovered over the title to bring up the email addy of the sender, and it was a load of gobbledegook. I've had spoof stuff before but nothing as authentic looking as this - ever. Then I realised even there was spelling mistakes too, like it said Stardards.
Anyway, fore warned is fore armed as they say peeps, so please don't even open it. I guess the link to update would be wanting all your details and they'll update for a small fee - but once they'v those, they'll empty your account.
Phew ! I've enough going on in my life and can well do without low-life's like this, the "Bar-Stewards"
