PEOPLE across Inverclyde are being urged to watch out for a TV licence scam.
Reader Murdoch Martin got in touch with the Tele about a suspicious email he received.
At first glance, it appeared to be official but on closer inspection it turned out to be a cyber fraud.
The email, headed 'TV Licensing Official' claimed there had been a problem with a payment and said that the licence had to be 'renewed', before making threats about a debt collection agency.
Recipients are directed to a dodgy link to make a payment, which should not be clicked under any circumstances.
