The Ministry of Digital Economy has warned the public about a fraudulent SMS campaign falsely claiming to be associated with the GovPay digital payment platform.
In a statement, the Ministry said several people had received text messages claiming to be from the Police Traffic Division, requesting payment of fines for speeding violations.
The messages contain links directing recipients to make payments through what appears to be the GovPay platform. However, the Ministry stressed that these links are entirely fake and part of a cyber scam designed to mislead the public.
The Ministry clarified that neither the Government nor the Ministry has ever sent SMS messages or notifications requesting payment of traffic fines through links using the official GovPay platform.
