Popular messaging services are being used to target people with scams, TSB saidLearner drivers are being warned about fake tests and driving lesson offers, after a bank recorded a jump in people losing money to the scams. The bank suggested that driving test backlogs could be helping to fuel scams as learners try to secure or fast-track a test. Another customer responded to a post promising a fast-tracked driving test and tried to pay £100, which TSB blocked and confirmed was fraudulent. Alex Robinson, head of fraud analytics, TSB, said: “Fraudsters have really upped their attempts to target learner drivers – with offers of driving lessons and fast-tracked tests that simply don’t exist. “We take all allegations about test fraud extremely seriously and fully investigate reports of any individuals who attempt to circumvent the testing process.
