this is no doubt a scam - text message said "we have sent you a letter about your DVLA account. Please visit our website (dodgy bit.ly URL) your ref: 24878291" I have had no letter from DVLA they are just trying to trick me to clicking the URL which probably will try & install malware. Beware.

Pretending to be Hrmc. Person calling with very bad english,go back to the scam school and learn some english. Indian accent with terrible moronic language asking for bank details.
