Why we're here:
This blog is to highlight the unjust persecution of legitimate non-TV users at the hands of TV Licensing. These people do not require a licence and are entitled to live without the unnecessary stress and inconvenience caused by TV Licensing's correspondence and employees.

If you use equipment to receive live broadcast TV programmes, or to watch or download BBC on-demand programmes via the iPlayer, then the law requires you to have a TV licence and we encourage you to buy one.

Beware: TV Licensing Email Scams

News today that yet another variant of scam TV Licensing email is doing the rounds.

These emails try to extract personal information from TV Licensing customers, which can then be used for criminal purposes such as stealing money from their bank accounts.

Please see our earlier articles for some top tips on how to recognise bogus TV Licensing emails:

There are a lot of these scam emails out there, so please be wary of any email purportedly from TV Licensing.

Even more so than genuine TV Licensing emails, these scam emails try to pressurise unsuspecting recipients into acting quickly and without thought.

The scammers know that stressed recipients will be more susceptible to providing personal information.

If you are in any doubt at all about the authenticity of a TV Licensing email, then please contact them directly using the details on the official TV Licensing website.

Never act in haste. Always pause for thought. Read the text carefully and seek a second opinion if there is any doubt whatsoever.
