Driving Licence Replacement Scam!

forgotmyname

The gov site said £20 but you paid £50? And didnt think something was wrong?

The card companies send them the money because you created the transaction and some people are willing to pay for others to do the work for them.

They do seem to say they are not the GOV website and no longer look exactly like them either.

Which site did you pay?

I went to buy a loaf of bread today. The advert in the window said a loaf was £2, but a man outside the shop said he would go in for me and get me a loaf for £5. I paid him and I got the bread, but now I realise that by going in the shop myself I could have paid less. How do I get my money back? Who do I sue? I mean, he looked a bit like a baker. How was I to know?

Was his name Mr Baker by any chance? I would have fallen for that one myself.

Ask an MP didn't one quote that a load of bread costs £25 when a reporter asked them?

I was in a hurry to replace my driving license and filled in the forms on the first site i came to ADLS I have beaten my self up for falling for it.I realised right away what I had done.
Sent them an email cancelling my subscription ,no reply after telling them I would be contacting the fraud squad if any money went from my account I got a email telling me my contract had been cancelled.I checked my account yesterday and they have taken £49 from my account.
Tomorrow I shall contact the fraud squad ,I have saved all the emails sent and recieved.I have tried to find the website I used and guess what its vanished.Also got a fake debit card sent to me from them.

Ask your bank for a chargeback first.
