Police said incidents have been reported of fraudulent SMS and WhatsApp messages being sent to drivers who commit traffic offences, attempting to illegally collect fines.
The Police Media Spokesperson’s Office stated that information has been uncovered about a sophisticated scam involving a fake website designed to resemble the official GovPay website, through which money is being fraudulently collected from the public.
As a result, the Police urged the public to avoid clicking on links received through such fake SMS and WhatsApp messages.
The Police advise that fines should only be paid through the GovPay app after a traffic offence has been officially confirmed by a police officer.
