According to consumer watchdog Which?, one of the signs of a possibly fraudulent website is that its domain (web address) does not quite match that of its purported owner. ’For example, website domains such as www.ipadoffers.net or www.discountnikeclothes.com should raise alarm bells,’ its scam-spotting advice states. ’You should also be cautious of domains that end in .net or .org.’
This is not great news for the RTA claims portal, Official Injury Claim, which went live this week. While proudly displaying the Royal Coat of Arms over the introduction ‘We work for the Ministry of Justice’, the site’s URL does not end in '.gov.uk' but with a humble '.org.uk', which is available to any online Tom, Dick or Harry for about £9.99 a year.
