Warning issued over fraudulent TV licence renewal e-mail demands

A warning has been issued over an e-mail scam which claims to come from An Post.

The e-mail indicates that it is being sent from the postal services concerning a household’s TV licence.

It states the licence is due to expire in six days - asking people to click on a link to renew their subscription.

An Post has confirmed it does send out reminder e-mails about renewing licences.

However, such notices always have the customer's address within the body of the e-mail.

Anybody in receipt of the fraudulent e-mails are advised to delete them immediately.
