A motorist just trying to renew his driving licence got stung for a massive £89 every THREE months! He handed over loads of personal info – including his mum’s maiden name and passport details – but didn’t use the official GOV.UK site. Instead, he clicked a dodgy link and signed up for a pricey subscription scam.
