Fake traffic fine SMS, WhatsApp and email scams
Criminals may claim that you have an unpaid traffic fine, threaten penalties or legal action, and include a fake payment link designed to steal card details, banking credentials, a PIN or an OTP.
What to do
Verify the source ↗Do not use the link or contact details in the message. Verify the fine independently through the official website or contact centre of the relevant traffic authority. Urgency plus threats plus a payment link means: stop and verify first.
