GoCompare warns of ghost brokers on social media

ghost broker

Comparison site says young drivers aged 17 to 24 are most likely to fall victim to ghost broking.

GoCompare Car Insurance has warned that victims of ghost broking lose £769 on average and face penalties for uninsured driving.

The price comparison website called on consumers to avoid heavily discounted car insurance deals they see advertised on social media.

A ghost broker is someone who poses as a legitimate insurance broker to sell forged or invalid car insurance policies to drivers, who are attracted by cheap, too-good-to-be-true premiums.
