Motoring experts at DVLA have warned people of possible identity theft that could happen when selling their cars.
In the aftermath of the pandemic, many drivers are choosing to sell their second-hand cars privately thanks to the soaring costs of new vehicles. To make the sale, drivers will need to provide their V5C logbook.
However, posting this online can pose a massive risk of fraud and identity theft, as it contains personal information that scammers can use to commit crimes. Birmingham Live reports that identity theft can occur when scammers obtain your details and use them to do things like access bank accounts and take out phone contracts.
