MOTORISTS in Buckinghamshire are being warned about fraudsters pretending to be from the DVLA.

Shared by Thames Valley Police in an online alert, on behalf of Neighbourhood Watch, it says the scam email claims a routine check by the government agency has found 'irregularities' on the person's profile.

It states the car owner must fill in a form with personal information and payment details to 'avoid termination of your motoring license'.
