Autotrader hacked 5th October - scam email - Falkirk Bairn

I had an email from Autotrader last week saying they had been hack & to watch out for scam emails.

True to their word a very poorly mock up of TV Licencing arrived today saying my
BBC licence was due today, click here - £150.50.

It had to be a scam as mine renewed in September.

Sure enough the headline is TV licencing - the actual email address is some college in the US.

Still has to be applied for.

"Please remember that you don’t automatically get an over 75 TV Licence on your 75th birthday. You have to apply for one."
