Type of a scam Online Purchase
I lost my driver’s license and went online via my mobile phone to replace the phone. Driver’s License Online was the first website listed and it included a reference to my state of residence, thus I incorrectly assumed it was legitimate. I went through their ordering process, which included indicating what DMV service I needed (i.e., replace driver’s license) and it listed a fee that was similar to a fee I would expect from the DMV. This gave me the impression that I was requesting and purchasing a replacement driver’s license. After entering payment details, I received a message to download a set of documents. It turns out that was the product, not a replacement license as the website advertising and purchase process leads you to believe. This company’s marketing – the website, purchase process, and pricing – are misleading and appear to be designed to take advantage of individuals trying to quickly process DMV-related transactions.
