Expert Opinion
Multiple reports highlight text messages from this number mimicking official DVLA communications, urging recipients to click links for vehicle tax updates to dodge fines. Such tactics scream scam—genuine DVLA alerts arrive via email, never SMS with dodgy short links. Victims risk phishing sites harvesting personal data or installing malware. Forward suspicious texts to 7726 to report spam, block the number immediately, and verify any tax issues directly on the gov.uk site. Staying vigilant nips these frauds in the bud; never engage with unsolicited links promising quick fixes.

Potential DVLA impersonation scam.
A text claiming to be from the DVLA arrived, directing me to a dodgy site to avoid fines – definitely a scam, so I didn't click the link.
Looks like a scam exploiting DVLA email records – I got a message saying “DVLA: Your latest vehicle tax payment was not able to be processed. To avoid any fines or penalties, update your information here: https://rebrand.ly/h2nz9f8”. Remember, DVLA never sends texts, only emails.
