  1. COMPLAINTS: Unable To Verify My Plate Number

    I tried to verify my new plate number to see if it has been updated after my last verification on this same portal sometimes ago and found out that my number was allocated to a Toyota Carina instead of my car, a Volkswagen Vento Car. I helped friends and relatives to verify their plate numbers on my android handset but for sometimes now, that has been impossible. It appears that the portal has been tampered with so as to make it difficult for people to verify and detect quickly the fake plate number scam being perpetrated by some bad elements in the system.
