    There was a warning on the RSA site to avoid these places:

    Get on to your Credit Card Customer Services in the morning and cancel the payment. You could even try it now. Some of those cards have 24-hour support.

    To be honest, I'd be calling your credit card and cancelling the transaction and say that the site was fraudulent. They're usually 24hrs so you should be able to call now.

    I'm not sure what that site is, but it's clearly pretending to be something it's not.

    If the rsa had any cop on they'd put a clear unmissable warning on the theory test DVD about fake sites.

    it's on the front page of the website, they can't be held accountable for people not using the RSA website.

    Having a warning on the site that people didn't find isn't going to do much good! A warning in their book, DVD and rules of the road would be a good idea.
