Driving licence application scam

[catmadcaz]

My daughter has decided to learn to drive so needs a Provisional licence. So yesterday she put dvla provisional licence in her computer and up came the sites. DVLA Provisional - drivinglicence.uk.com‎
www.drivinglicence.uk.com/ was the first 4 entries

So she used the first one applied paid with my card the £50.00 application fee... was emailed a ref number.. so far so good.

Today she realised she had been had it was a scam it is a driving licence checking site like the passport check only they charge £50.00 the same fee as a licence.

I wenr on the site and read it through throughly and she will have to another £50.00 for her yes you guessed her provisional, from the real DVLA.

All she has paid for is a FREE application form available from the post office.

I like a fool gave her my card to pay for it and didn't think to check the site as she is 19 and very computer savvy.

Anyone else been had?

My thanks to Santafe 2000. I followed their guidance with regard to claiming refund from the scamming DVLA licence b-stards. Success!! I hope!!
Received email today ( after paying £25 to small claims court) with apologies for the "confusion" and saying I will receive full refund (inc. £25 costs) within seven days. These people try to bully you by continually stating their worthless terms and conditions thinking you will eventually give up. "DON'T GIVE UP" !!
I even received a letter from Trading Standards saying they could not do anything because the site is legal. LEGAL BUT TOTALLY IMMORAL
Thanks again Santafe 2000

There is something different.
Advertised my car for sell,soon after a company phoned me,they saw my ad on the paper.
they offered to sell my car,stupid me ,paid £80 for the service with credit card.
nothing happened ,no service no refund.
learnt my lesson.but can't forget this experience yet.
The law is too lenient and con artists take advantage of loopholes.

Received refund today from R A Link Solutions including costs.
I really think this proves they have no desire to go to court they just delay and delay hoping you will "give in" . When they realise you are not going to give in they pay up at the last minute.
Small Claims is so easy and well worth £25.

hi Just seen this thread and joined up to reply, although a little late, in short my son sent them £90 when he told me i was so furious,

i did a search on the company and directors and their business address, emailed them so many times phoned their registered office (virtua office admin), i managed to find an ex director (family member) once i contacted him (or the company he now works for)3 hours later i got a email from drivinglicences.org offering a full refund which he got 2 weeks later, if anyone wants any information how to getback their money back i would be happy to help, this company is dispicable, you can email me at [email protected]

the new company is drivinglicenceaplications.org here are another 4 or 5 of their companies offering similar services also (provisional licences etc)

www.e-driving-licence.co.uk

DO NOT USE. This is not a legitimate website. They will charge £50 to send you an application.

Scam

Hi , i tracked down the company and the owners of this company are Neil Scotchbrook and Mr Lawrence William Bingham, The number you can actually reach them on and it will be one of the owners picking up is 0846 652 1333 . also one of the owners is a partner in Intelemedia Limited , here is a link for this information : www.endole.co.uk/company/05487342/a2b-telecom-limited , and here is a link to their website the main one : www.a2btelecom.com/

I had the same problem and followed the advice of Santasafe 2000 (see Sat. 18th Jan 2014) I eventually received a full refund with costs.
Good Luck

Visa scams on internet !
