Expert shares key red flags to look for in fake DVLA emails
An expert on scams has shared key red flags to look out for to indicate a fake Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) email. Nick Stapleton told BBC Morning Live on Monday (9 June) that scammers sending the phishing emails are 'trying to get you into an emotionally hot state' to 'make you act irrationally'. He advised people to look out for two key phrases which indicate a fraudulent email: 'The enforcement threshold is 72 hours from notice' and 'Do not delay, resolve this today.' Stapleton said this 'threatening' language reminds him of letters sent by the bailiffs, rather than the DVLA. He urged motorists to ignore the phishing emails and instead use the website to check if their vehicle is taxed.

Parents warned to make immediate change to popular Bugaboo highchair as children are at ‘risk of injuries'
Plus, the Amazon toy which has been urgently recalled URGENT WARNING Parents warned to make immediate change to popular Bugaboo highchair as children are at 'risk of injuries' PARENTS have been issued a strong warning after a popular Bugaboo highchair has been found to put kids at 'risk of injuries'. The Bugaboo Giraffe Highchair - which retailed for around £200 - has been removed from the market after it did not meet safety regulations. 4 Parents have been urged to make an immediate change to the popular Bugaboo Giraffe Highchair Credit: Specifically this affects batches 200001001, 200001002, 200001005, 200001007, and 200001013. The hazard listed on the Gov UK website states that when an infant is seated in the baby chair, the legs of the wooden highchair can detach from the frame. This occurs if the screws attaching the legs to the frame are 'not tightly secured.' The warning states: 'Bugaboo UK Limited understands that this can occur due to the opposing forces an infant's thighs and feet can place on the upper baby set accessory seat and footrest. 'The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.' While the product has been removed from the market, including from Boots, Bugaboo will provide a free repair kit containing revised screws if you wish to continue using it. The kit will include an updated Allen key and a user manual on the proper application of the screws. The Bugaboo website has a search for checking if your Bugaboo Giraffe needs a repair kit. The advice state: 'If you want to continue using your Bugaboo Giraffe highchair until you have replaced the screws using the Repair Set, you can only do so safely if you put the footrest in its lowest position. 'You can put the footrest in its lowest position by pressing the two buttons located on either side of the footrest while sliding the footrest down.'
