Sorn Warning

I think they're legit but they count on you mistaking them for a government website.

 

And often those sites show at the top of searches. There are plenty of other rogue sites too, for example i almost got caught on a passport site some time back, I always double check it is a legit gov.uk one now.

 

It might be legal, but I wouldn't call it legit. Scam would be a better word. Thanks fot the warning, though.

 

There are similar sites that some of my wife’s pupils have fallen for when trying to book driving tests which are expensive enough without having to pay fees on top of the usual test cost. God knows it’s difficult enough given the present circumstances to get a test, try August/ September because of the backlog after lessons and tests were stopped in the pandemic but it would help if they were doing more than three tests a day

 

A very good reminder to always check you are on the correct site for any government type interaction. Thanks for posting.

 

I think that they pay google (and others) to be at the top of the search.
Flight bookings are the same thing and I’ve almost fell for it too. Thanks for your reminder to check!

 

I know a mate who fell for this very scam. A clever chap too. Can't be too careful these days. Robbin gits.

 

My GF works for the oklahoma DMV, which was only shut down 2 weeks in april, but precautions since have slowed the process, so they are now open until 9:00 pm weeknights and on Saturday until 4:00. This is a good example of how the government should be responding.

 

This kind of thing is outrageous. The skunks running this site need their arses suing!!!!!

One easy rule of thumb is never to click on a link preceded by Ad. A lot of these sites are then instantly kicked aside.
