People in the Black Country have been warned about a new scam trying to steal their hard earned cash.
Crooks are now sending out emails claiming to be from the TV Licensing Authority saying there is a problem with their direct debit and threatening a fine.
John Spellar MP said “ These low life are trying to ruin Christmas for ordinary decent folk. I am particularly worried that pensioners will be fooled and urge their families to keep a watch out for these emails, one clue is that they word it as the American spelling as License rather than the British spelling as Licence.”
