No details of licence number. Guessed it was a scam as bank account showed DD referred to had gone out fine.Today I received a second email from root-smpt2.rapidns.com (this time using the official TVLicensing logo, saying it was from TVLicensing UK), saying that my Direct Debit had been cancelled and I had to follow the link to set up a new DD. This email gave a Licence Number and Expiry Date (both incorrect.) The ‘Message ID’ gave the same reference number as yesterday’s email.
