Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this number's messages mimic official alerts to lure the unwary. All reports point to a brazen scam impersonating the DVLA, with texts claiming failed payments and urging clicks to dodgy links for 'updates'. Victims are tricked into handing over personal or financial details, risking identity theft or worse. Don't engage—delete the message straight away and report it to Action Fraud.
