This is what's in the link: Watch out for emails claiming to be from DVLA asking you to verify your driving licence details via an online link – it's a scam. DVLA has not sent any such email, so if you get one delete it immediately. Scam phishing email
The email appears to be an attempt to trick drivers into providing personal details.

If you get the email below, do not respond to it and delete it immediately.



From: DVLA

Subject: Update Your License Details

We are currrently upgrading our database and all drivers are required to update and verify there driver's license details.To complete your license verification with us, you are required to fill out the form in the link below.

I keep getting emails from HSBC and Lloyds banks to say a third party has tried to access my account, Well let them go ahead because I have never used either of those banks

Best rule of thumb is that if an e-mail addresses you by name, 'Dear Mr John Smith', then it's probably genuine. If it addresses you as something like 'Dear HSBC customer' then it's a scam. Just keep your brain in gear at all times.
