Info:
I’ve noticed a few bogus driving instructor pages popping up, being tagged and recommended in local groups recently.
I’m not sure what the scam is. Maybe they want you to pay for a block of lessons and then run off with your money. Or perhaps they think they can teach illegally for money. Whichever it is
please beware.
If you sign up with a driving instructor please make sure they exist. You’ve seen us driving about with top boxes or branding on our cars. Ask people you know, don’t just rely on Facebook
recommendations. Scammers usually have more than one profile and they use numerous accounts to make it look like lots of people are recommending them.
The page I saw was pretty obviously a scam to me and to other instructors I’ve shared it with, but to someone who isn’t in this industry, it might not be so easy to spot.
1 scam instructor pages tend to have lots of post all put up on the same day and not much other activity
2 they post loads of passes all on the same day
3 they steal our pictures to use. Their photos have lots of different cars, none of which have the same branding
4 They blur out branding in photos.
5 this was a good one we spotted - congratulating someone on passing their test, but the name on the pass certificate is completely different.
6 using pics of old a4 pass certificates. The certificates are no longer a4 size.
Please be careful people. Driving instructors are trying our best to keep up with demand. But whenever something is in short supply, scammers will always seize the opportunity to prey on people
who are desperate.
