The Ministry of Internal Affairs has alerted citizens to a recent surge in fraudulent SMS and iMessage messages. These messages falsely claim to be notifications regarding unpaid traffic violations. Authorities report that senders are impersonating official institutions to deceive recipients. Citizens are urged to exercise caution and avoid clicking on any links contained within these suspicious texts. The Ministry advises verifying any traffic fine notifications directly through official government channels, such as the PTT network or the Ministry’s website. This warning aims to prevent individuals from falling victim to phishing attempts and potential financial loss. Law enforcement is investigating the source of these deceptive messages.
