A warning has been issued over a scam Facebook page that is claiming to renew driving licences for €200.
The scam, which claims to be the National Driver Licence Service, asks people to contact via Whatsapp to renew licences.
Gardai and the Road Safety Authority have now issued a warning to the public about the scam.
The NDLS has no official social media pages, and the only way to contact the service is via the RSA or www.ndls.ie.
A garda spokesman said: "An Garda Siochana and the Road Safety Authority (RSA) would like make the public aware of a scam which has been reported to Gardaí.
"A fraudulent Facebook page purposing to be the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) is inviting people to contact them via WhatsApp to apply for or renew their driving licence. They are then seeking payment of over €200.
"This is a scam to part people with their money. The NDLS does not have any official social media pages. The only way to contact the NDLS is through the official RSA social media pages or online through www.rsa.ie or www.ndls.ie.
"This fraudulent page has been reported to Facebook to be removed. Investigations are ongoing."
