Indonesian ‘vehicle tax’ email
Recently, I renewed my driving licence online, which required me to create a new ‘Driver and Vehicles’ account. Therefore I wasn’t immediately suspicious of an email from ‘Vehicle Tax Services Team’ suggesting that certain details associated with my vehicle may require confirmation. I hovered over the ‘Review & Update Information’ link, which revealed a URL of ‘https://gov.uk/driving’. When I typed it into my browser I got a ‘404 page not found’ error. I then noticed the email came from an email address ending in ‘megavision.net.id’, which is an Indonesian domain.
