The AA is warning motorists to be on their guard against fake New Zealand driver licensing pages circulating on social media, creating hazards for unsuspecting victims.
AA general manager commercial and product Roger Venn says often these pages may try to trick people into paying large sums of money for what they claim is a ‘valid’ New Zealand driver’s licence, or take a person’s details from a fake online application process.
“We’ve noticed these fraudulent pages seem to target people who are unfamiliar with New Zealand’s driver licensing process and use stolen names and imagery from the AA or Waka Kotahi to imply legitimacy,” he says.
The AA reminds people who are seeking or renewing their driver’s licence to only go through official channels.
Getting a licence is not an online process, nor is it done through social media.
