Drivers have been warned to beware con artists selling fake car insurance on social media in a scam dubbed ‘ghost broking’. More than a fifth of Brits have seen a suspicious advert while using social media, according to a report by the Insurance Fraud Bureau.

The scam involves criminals tricking victims into believing they’ve bought genuine car insurance, but the fraudsters may falsify details to cut the price of insurance sold to victims, or take out genuine policies and then cancel them, pocketing the refund.
