DVLA alert - another scam?

I have received an email from the DVLA which is on an unsecured platform. It looks all right but I am suspicious because I don’t have an online account with them and have not requested paperless transactions. My car tax is not due yet so I am wondering if this is a scam. Anyone else had this?

Yes I did this morning and I don’t even have a car.

Me too!
Had a follow up one this afternoon telling me my direct debit has been cancelled so I am no longer taxed...as I no longer have a car thats OK!

Thank you. Glad my suspicious mind has proved right!
