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

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.
