Ms Interpret 10 #2 Posted February 21, 2019 i get them quite a bit and they do look convincing tv licensing are aware and advise to delete and try to block Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

RollingJ 2,002 #4 Posted February 21, 2019 First question I ask myself when I get an unexpected email, even from 'TV Licensing' is - 'Have I ever given them my email address'? If the answer is 'No', then it is an obvious scam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mind you, it could be a coincidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think the point is that Ontarian got a scam TV licence request from a scammer, not the BBC or Capita, after downloading the UKTV app. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
