Do you own an HGV because they are the only type of vehicles that come anywhere near having to pay that amount in vehicle tax in the first place!

We don't pay vehicle tax...

...and if you were due a refund from any government department, it wouldn't be "time limited"....

Don't forget to include NINO, Inside Leg Measurement, Knicker Size, Card No + CVV and PIN - and of course, your Mother's Maiden Name.

Better still - just delete the messages, add sender/domain to spam/black list and if you run a "washer" prog - bounce it.
