Driver Duped Into £89 Every Three Months by Dodgy Licence Renewal Scam
Beware Fake Renewal Links
A driver trying to renew his licence fell victim to a costly scam. Instead of using the official GOV.UK website, he clicked a dodgy link and handed over personal details—including his mother’s maiden name and passport info.
Hidden Charges Bite Hard
After the payment, he discovered he was being stung £89 every three months. A nasty surprise when a genuine driving licence renewal starts at just £14 on the official site.
