Terrible TV Licence Scams

Criminals often contact older people claiming to be from TV Licensing asking them to send money. This scam can come as a text, phone call, letter, or - most often - as a phishing email. It'll be disguised to look like it's been sent by the TV Licensing Organisation. They may say you're entitled to a refund for an overpayment or warn that your licence is about to expire. They'll then ask you to respond by entering your bank details on a fake website.

The emails may use the TV Licensing logo and have other features that make them look authentic, but you should never trust them or click on any links. If you want to check the details of your TV Licence, go directly to the TV Licencing website or call them on 0300 303 9691 (Monday to Friday 08:30 - 18:30)
