DVLA Tax Refund: Is this a scam?

"Somewhat" legitimate.  I just meant in terms of the pages looking similar to what the DVLA uses.  I definitely wasn't going to fill any of the forms out.  I was 95% sure it was a scam anyway, but just figured I'd post here for the extra 5% confirmation.

Consider the 5% confirmed.

Ideally you dont want to be clicking on these things at all... this one doesnt appear to have significant tracking in the link but most do so if you click the link they know you are prone to falling for these things and so will ramp up the efforts... obviously if you fill the details in then your card details would have been sold and you'd be put on the super gullible list and receive even more of them in the future.

Whilst I think this was obviously a scam I do appreciate that sometimes even the smartest of us can get caught out... I watched in real time as a middle manager with 20 years of working in banking and insurance fell for a phone call from "his bank" telling him to transfer his money into a "safe account" because they thought there was fraud on his account... about 10 second after doing it his face fell as he realised he'd just transferred £10k or so to fraudsters.
