DVLA officials have sent out an urgent warning to people selling their cars over potential identity theft. Many individuals are now choosing the sell their vehicles privately amid a rise in costs for new products.
When you sell your vehicle, to officially make the sale, owners must provide their V5C logbook. But the DVLA warns posting it online puts you at risk of fraud and identity theft, reports the Daily Record.
This is because the logbook contains personal information and scammers can use it to commit crimes, including accessing bank accounts and taking out phone contracts - and could cost you thousands of pounds.
