Amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the Land Transportation Office on Sunday warned the public against fixers who have “suddenly” appeared on social media extending “expedited approval and renewal” of driver’s license.
Romeo Vera Cruz, LTO executive director, said the agency has monitored a number of Facebook and Twitter accounts offering easy approval and renewal of licenses.
Those accounts have been flagged for investigation and prosecution, he said in a statement.
“This is clearly a scam. Obviously, this is not authorized by LTO. People who patronize this will suffer the consequence of their actions. The cards are patently fake,” he said.
“The services are clearly illegal. Our partner Dermalog is the only one authorized to process drivers licenses. No law abiding citizen should attempt to engage the illegal services offered,” he added.
