Name and shame the above Copycat driving license scammers who have set up and run the following websites which unsuspecting teenagers and OAP's who are naïve and trusting fall victim to.

Natasha Cameris Knight of Battersea London, trading under Nine Continents Ltd ([protected]) / RE/MAX Central - Under Companies House they are listed as a photocopying, document preparation and other specialised office support activities, this is very far from the truth.

If you're over 70, watch out for copycat websites when renewing your driving licence. A website that often pops up when searching online looks just like the official DVLA website, but it charges you 90p to renew your licence. If you pay, you will also be enrolled into a recurring fortnightly charge of £38 for services.

‘The website asks for personal details to be submitted via an authentic-looking form, but this information doesn't go to the DVLA. Instead, you'll be sent the official application form to your home address. Thankfully, upon inspection of the small print, I spotted that these additional charges would be made and cancelled my card before any more money was taken.

‘Even if these sites are technically legal, they deliberately set out to deceive people.'

Our say on copycat sites

You should always go directly to the official ‘gov.uk' website for government services - such as passport or driving licence renewals - rather than relying on search engines, where the results can display copycat websites.

These often charge an over-the-top fee for a free service, or mislead you into signing up for recurring payments. If you fall for one of these, you should be able to get your money back using Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act (if you paid by credit card) or a chargeback claim (debit card).

It's illegal for a copycat website to parade itself as a government entity. We have called for a crackdown against sites that don't prominently display that they're not associated with the government and that you can get a passport or driving licence without additional costs through the official government website.

We have also pressed search engines to stop displaying adverts for copycat websites at the top of search results. Google has taken action to remove copycat sites for paid search results and has worked to ensure that the official gov.uk sites come top. If you see a misleading website, please report them to search engines on gov.uk.

Have you ever come across a copycat website for driving licence renewals?

Natasha Cameris Knight is definitely a SCAMMER. I believe it is her hiding under the cloak of Fred IG, why would a so called student be interested in defending a SCAM website so aggressively? This is 100% Natasha or one of her fellow scammers posing as a student called Fred IG. How sad are these crooks? they will go to any lengths to hide their identities so they can keep stealing.

We are actively trying to find the other SCAMMERS within Natasha's group, we will then be publishing all of their names / addresses online so the public are aware. We must bring an end to these scamming thieves.

I can also see connections with A2B Telecoms. Does anyone know of A2B Telecoms? I can see that the have been associated with some SCAMS too.

@Justiceplease

Jeez, please, you guys are absolute idiots! Firstly, you both reside in the states, so one could question why you're so emotive over a site that holds no concern to you whatsoever...

Secondly, this site is not claiming to be a Government site at all, which is why is is perfectly legal. In the UK we have check and send service at the post office, and this is exactly what this is but online.. literally do not understand your issue. I'm not great at form filling so I chose to use them to ease the whole process.. and guess what? It worked!

For the record, Crack Down, I stated that you could be done for libel, because one, you aggressively stated these people are scammers and their sites illegal - none of which is true (if Im wrong, then please do state your reason as to why?). Then towards the end you actually admit they aren't illegal! Plus you are trying to pin a whole host of sites on one person...

As for hiding behind behind identities, hmm, kettle, pot, black ... COWARD

Justice Please - It would be fairer on you if you re-educated yourself before posting on here. I said, "libel" not "liable". These words have completely different meanings.

As for stealing etc etc, , , please explain how a site can force a person to physically type in their credit card number after agreeing to terms.. take some responsibility for your actions and stop being so weak!

I know full well that the reason behind your posts is to make a load of money off the victims by charging them a small fortune to remove them. You two are the scammers... all a little ploy to get rich quick... what a sick joke!

Dear Crack Down,

Very grateful to read your review as I was looking to replace my licence due to a name change (Im young so would place myself in the youth category). So I checked out the ukdriving help site. Here, I am confused about what you are stating as it clearly says it is nothing to do with the DVLA and that they simply check & send (just as you would get at the post office?) also its a clear fee. So if they aren't claiming to be the DVLA (or associated with the DVLA) and their fee is clear -- plus it says its an OPTIONAL service, what is the issue? On this note, I don't know where the ongoing cost applies because it was a one off £69.99 no other fees on top - and to be honest I was more than happy to pay simply to take the hassle out of the whole thing.
Last point is, that the above are all different organisations not belonging to one person. Just making a point in case you get sued for libel ... KR FredG

Replying to comment of FredIG

Driving Licence copycat websites are run by uneducated crooks looking for easy money whilst unsuspecting teenagers and the elderly get messed about with.

It would not surprise me if the owners have responded above pretending to be a student, their comments look very one sided and fake. Which student would want to pay for a free service?! I am a student and I was conned by one of these heartless criminals.

They are threatening to take Crack Down to a court of law for liable, can you imagine what a Judge would do? They would probably throw these scammer in jail. The Government is actively trying to crack down on these thieves.

Let’s all come together and bring these faceless thieves who hide behind fake companies to justice.
