A task force has been set up to crackdown on alleged fraudsters who have helped “clients” scam the demerit points system. The three-month probe will investigate suspected gaming of the process that allows another driver to be nominated as liable for infringement demerit points, the NSW government announced on Friday. It will target 0.005 per cent of the state’s almost seven million licence holders — about 350 people — who have 20 or more demerit points.
Contacted on the requested encrypted messaging platform on Friday, the number responded with an automatic message, requesting a photo of the fine and further identification details. “Once I have all the information I will get back to you and get the fine done for you as soon as possible,” the message promised. It assured potential clients they would not have to pay until the fine was dealt with in order to protect them “from getting scammed from other people”.
