Types of scams to watch out for

Remember that criminals are continually inventing new types of scams to gain access to your personal information and funds.

If you buy a VicRoads product or service through a fraudulent website, you won’t be able to get a refund from VicRoads. 

Scam calls

Some scam callers may:

  • call you unexpectedly and ask you for your driver licence number or card number
  • call you unexpectedly and ask for a verification code sent to your phone. They can use this code to access your myVicRoads account. 

Social media scams

Scammers are active on social media, and new scam accounts appear all the time.

  • Driver licence and car registration scams are common social media scams. 
  • Sometimes the scammers pretend to be VicRoads and set up fake VicRoads social media accounts.
  • Criminals may also try to sell fake driver licences on social media. 

Never send a photo of your driver licence or share any registration details through social media. 

Text and email scams

If you receive a suspicious email or text claiming to be from VicRoads, do not reply or click any links.

Below are some examples of scam SMS messages which are not from VicRoads. Not all scams may look like this, so be very careful.

Driver licence scams

Sometimes criminals may try to sell you a driver licence.

The only way to get a Victorian driver licence is through VicRoads. 

Police officers carry online tools for scanning and checking licence details, so they will know if a driver licence is fake and was not issued by VicRoads.

Online sales scams

We do not sell any VicRoads-branded products or services through third-party sellers. This includes:

  • unregistered vehicle permits
  • overseas licence conversions
  • VicRoads-branded vehicle reports
  • driving test appointments.

Sometimes scammers will claim they’re selling other products or services on behalf of VicRoads, often at a higher price. These websites might claim that they’re endorsed by VicRoads or use the VicRoads logo. 

Unauthorised sellers of unregistered vehicle permits (UVPs)

We’ve become aware of unauthorised third-party websites selling UVPs, often at high prices.

To make sure you’re paying the right amount and to keep your information secure, only purchase UVPs through the VicRoads website. We don’t authorise or sell UVPs through third parties.

When you’re buying a UVP from us, always check that the website address in your browser is www.vicroads.vic.gov.au, especially when you’re making your payment.

Report a scam

You can message us to let us know about new scams that may affect VicRoads customers.

If the scam occurred on social media, you should use that social media’s Report function to report the account.
