Doubt it. DGT has a traffic office in Elche which does driving license exchanges and the OP is simply advertising a service which many appear to be a bit beyond them.

Hi there, definitely not a scam but I understand your wariness. I have been supporting expats through admin processes in Orihuela Costa and Surrounding for 9 years now and I work legally. Feel free to check out my LinkedIn profile.

If you are renewing your licence you need to attend to Perform Wobbly Road Test

Eye sight test general medical questions and Photograph for new Licence.

The OP is talking about exchanging the license, not simply renewing it. You still need the medical but he is offering to do the actual exchange from a foreign one to a Spanish one which is done at DGT either in person or by a nominee.

That´s correct. I support with the exchange of an EU or UK licence to a Spanish licence following obtaining resident status. I book the medical, register the client for the digital certificate service, obtain the dvla check code, submit the application, take the licence and forms in person as representative to Elche DGT then track and collect the spanish licence card from there around 4 weeks later which removes any postal issues to the clients address. 

PM your email address to receive the full process info and cost breakdown if interested. 

Many thanks, Victoria

Actually having looked at the links I found that quite useful to know.
