Driving test

Hi everyone, I really need an urgent answer right now if anyone can help. I’ve failed 2 times my driving test and now I urgently look for a early test within a month. I was looking for it in a Facebook group and one lady answered me and she had few slots available for the next 3 weeks and she asked me to pay 175£. It’s that a scam or should I trust her? She said payment after booking. What should I do?
Thank you.
Are you booking through a website? Did she message you first?

Look at her profile- does it seem like a learning instructors profile? Or try googling her to see if she has a business etc.
See if she's on the registered list

She sent me a message on Facebook messenger and asked me if I’m still looking for a test and she gave me some availability dates for the next month and said I will pay after I receive the confirmation. Should I trust her? It’s sound like a scam? I don’t have other choice as on GOV website is nearly impossible to find a test.

Thank you for your reply.
Well, I was a bit sceptic. She doesn’t have many friends and pictures and her profile. But she told payment after booking. So, if I give her my driving license number and she booked me, can I then go and check with the booking reference number to see my test, right? I was just thinking not to be scammed. So it might be safe…

Yeah, we know that a driving test price is 62/75£, but I found that there are Facebook groups where some people ( I don’t know how) they can sell you a quick test for 175/200£.

Hi, just passed my driving test first time, if you want advice or help or even a crash course, GSM Driving School is the place to call, George knows people very well and can easily book you a test at a lower fee. He is located in London, call him, he has been in the business for years and has had multiple successive passes. Here is the link, highly recommend- details are on there 😃 Good luck
