Woman's driving licence pic stolen by scammers

Monday, 5 February 2024 08:13

A woman whose driving licence is being used by Facebook scammers says people should report it to the social network.

Rachael Forrest, who runs Vienna Hair Design in Douglas, was shocked to find a Facebook page was using her image to offer Isle of Man driving licences without taking any exams.

The page has been reported by a number of Manx Facebook users, and Rachael says she suspects the picture was stolen after she misplaced her licence and someone posted a photo of it online to try to find her.

The Facebook page is also using a photo of a Manx PPV licence to advertise its services.
