Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The free car history check website, cargb.uk, is untrustworthy. The website is a clone of freecarcheck.co.uk. If you enter a fake or invalid registration plate on cargb.uk, the website will return results blurred out and ask you to pay £0.95 to see it. If you enter the same fake or invalid registration plate on freecarcheck.co.uk, that website will tell you that the plate is invalid and will not display any bogus results.
Cargb.uk is a newly created website. It was registered on 2020-11-3.
