Police warn of phishing scam regarding fake traffic fines

The police have issued an official warning concerning a widespread phishing scam targeting citizens. Perpetrators are sending fraudulent messages via social media and SMS to solicit payments for non-existent traffic violations. The messages direct recipients to external links designed to harvest personal information and bank account details. Authorities have clarified that the police force never communicates with the public regarding fine payments through such digital channels. Citizens are strongly advised to refrain from clicking on suspicious links provided in these messages. Furthermore, the public should not disclose any sensitive financial or personal data to unknown parties. The police continue to investigate the source of these complaints as they accumulate.
