Drivers could be duped into using fake DVLA websites

The DVLA has issued a warning to all motorists about the types of websites they're using for official driving enquiries, applications and information.

Some websites, emails or phone numbers look like they’re part of an official government service when they’re not, or claim to help more than they actually do. In a tweet, the DVLA said: "Use http://GOV.UK for DVLA services or scammers may sneakily steal your personal details to commit fraud." You should never give out private information, such as bank details or passwords, reply to text messages, download attachments or click on any links in emails if you’re not sure they’re genuine.
