About Course

Drivers are a favourite target for scammers: fake vehicle tax refunds, “your licence will be cancelled” texts, unpaid parking fine messages and copycat websites that charge extra for licence renewals. This course uses DVLA’s own advice to show you how to spot these scams, protect your licence and logbook details, and report anything suspicious.
