Czech drivers are increasingly targeted by “smishing” attacks – fraudulent text messages disguised as official notices of unpaid traffic fines. These messages are circulating nationwide and aim to deceive recipients into revealing personal information or sending money to scammers. Authorities confirm they are not the source of these communications. The scam relies on prompting immediate action based on a fabricated debt. Victims are urged not to click on any links or respond to the messages. Police are investigating the surge in these attacks and advising citizens to be vigilant against such phishing attempts. This represents a growing threat to financial security for Czech motorists.
