The DVLA have issued an important warning to drivers over the risk of identity theft.
Drivers could find themselves at risk of identity theft when trying to sell their cars. In the wake of the pandemic, many are choosing to sell their second-hand cars privately due to the soaring costs of new vehicles.
In order to make the sale, the owners need to provide their V5C log book. However, the DVLA warn that by posting this online, it can open them up to a massive risk of fraud and identity risk, as it contains personal information that scammers can use to commit crimes.
