PhishDestroy threat report
uklicence.co.uk is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself as a UK licence service under the title "UK Licence - UK Licence". It targets people in the UK who are looking to apply for, renew or manage a licence and who might mistake it for an official or legitimate channel. PhishDestroy first saw the domain on 2026-10-16. As of 2026-10-19 the site is still online and serving live content.
Impersonation sites of this kind copy the name and look of a trusted licensing service so that visitors believe they are dealing with the real thing. The victim is typically guided through what looks like an application or renewal form that asks for full name, date of birth, address, licence or identity numbers, and often scans of identity documents. Many such pages also request a card payment for a supposed processing fee, which is either far above the genuine cost or delivers no service at all. The result is direct financial loss plus a package of personal data that can be reused for identity fraud or follow-up scams.
On VirusTotal, 3 of 92 engines flag the domain as of 2026-10-19: CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker and VIPRE. That is a low detection count, so many security tools and browsers may not yet warn visitors. The domain is listed on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
The domain was registered on 2026-04-01 through Verpex Ltd, about six months before PhishDestroy detected it. It resolves to 208.116.17.8 on the WHG-AUS network of WHG Hosting Services Ltd, a GB-registered provider, with the address located in Australia. The site uses a TLS certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (YR2), so the padlock in the browser says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
If you only browsed the site, close it and use the official government or licensing authority channels directly. If you entered card details, contact your bank immediately to block the card and dispute the charge. If you submitted identity information or documents, watch for misuse, consider placing a fraud alert with a credit reference agency, and treat any follow-up calls, texts or emails about your application with suspicion. Defenders should block uklicence.co.uk and 208.116.17.8 at DNS, proxy and email gateways, and report the site to the registrar and hosting provider through their abuse channels.

No. PhishDestroy classifies uklicence.co.uk as a WhatsApp impersonation page (risk: critical, 71/100); it was first detected on 2026-10-16. VirusTotal: 3/92 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on uklicence.co.uk. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.
Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.
