The National Road Safety Agency (NARSA) has formally denied sending SMS messages inviting citizens to pay traffic fines via electronic links. In an official statement released on Sunday, the agency warned of a scam impersonating its identity.
According to NARSA, messages—sometimes accompanied by voice recordings—have recently been circulating, claiming that some citizens received SMS notifications containing a link directing them to a supposed official website to pay fines issued by fixed speed cameras. The agency stressed that it does not provide any such payment service via SMS and has no connection whatsoever with these messages.
NARSA further clarified that the website mentioned in these messages is fake and fraudulently mimics an official platform. This scam is part of a broader attempt to steal citizens’ personal and banking information.
In this regard, the agency urged all road users to exercise extreme caution when dealing with suspicious messages or links. It advised against clicking on such links and recommended verifying the authenticity of official websites before taking any action.
The agency also called on users not to enter or share any personal or sensitive data, particularly banking details or passwords, on suspicious platforms. It encouraged citizens to report any such fraudulent activity immediately to the relevant authorities.
