Police warning over online scam
PEOPLE are being warned by Gwent Police that fake TV licensing emails are scamming people out of thousands of pounds.
Individuals are receiving what appears to be a tv licence email with a web link leading to a fake website which requests personal and financial details.

Fraudsters are then using these details to call victims claiming to be from their bank, asking that money be moved to a "safe account".
Gwent Police said that should you receive an e-mail or call from a suspected fraudster report the person to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
