I don't think anything official ever gets refunded that way,isn't it always by a cheque.

Sounds bogus.

Have you recently sold a car?

If in doubt, call dvla.

It’s a scam, delete it. The only way you get a refund is if you sell or scrap your car and you have full months remaining. They automatically refund the money to the original payment method so would never ask for your card details.

Fraud. Have you applied for a refund after you have sold a car?

This is how it really works

Not necessarily a virus, they’re just after your card details.

I had one recently from HMRC saying similar. If you click on the sender it will be from a bogus email address! Mine was from a Hotmail email

Have you sold a vehicle, if not, you're not due a refund. More likely a scam

Lucky escape, they would have emptied your bank account. Note how they asked for debit card, not credit card.

Don't respond. The DVLA know about this scam and even mention it on their automated system. Refunds are always paid by cheque and the DVLA will never send any communication asking you to divulge details of your bank account.

They've asked people not to contact them as they're investigating it.

No tax setup (as far as I'm aware) is in the business of correcting and refunding mistakes unless you've seen it and requested a refund based on evidence.

You get a refund when you sell or scrap a car, if there is at least one full month remaining on the "tax disc", so they do pay refunds, just not like this scam.
