Ottawa police are warning about a fraudulent road test booking website designed to gather personal information about drivers in the province.

Police say they’ve received several complaints from unsuspecting drivers who attempted to book a road test through the website “bookyourroadtest.com”.

Investigators say the website appears legitimate at first glance and shows up at the top of a Google search for “road test” because of paid promotion by fraudsters.

The data collected via the site is considered very valuable, as it includes a credit card number, driver’s licence number, address, date of birth and phone number, which can be used for identity theft.
