The dangerous WhatsApp scam to get a driver’s license that alerts the DGT. And it is that the Internet world is full of curiosities, information, wisdom, but also scams, hate and deception. Messages that try to leave you with an “empty wallet” are becoming more and more common, and it is not uncommon for you to post an ad on a second-hand sales portal and be bombarded with fraudulent messages.
In this case, we are not dealing with a scam in the sale of second-hand products, but in the process of obtaining the circulation permit. As reported by the DGT itself, these scammers would sell the card without the applicant having to pass an exam, or even without presenting himself to the theoretical or practical test. They invite you to get your card without any of this for about 635 euros. Of course, as long as you know how to drive, according to the same body.
⚠️⚠️To obtain a driving license it is ALWAYS necessary to pass a theoretical and a practical exam. 👀 Pay close attention to the offers that circulate on the Internet and that offer you, upon payment, to obtain the card without passing any exam. Ignore it because IT IS A SCAM. pic.twitter.com/0kGMHJEKzg
