Kuala Lumpur, 6th September 2023 - A new scam in relation to traffic summonses has been uncovered by the police.
In this new tactic to swindle money, emails are sent to remind the recipients of their “outstanding summonses”, together with advisory notes urging them to resolve the tickets to avoid further punitive actions.
Also included is a link to “pay the fine”. Once clicked, the recipients may fall for phishing scams.
Federal Police Commercial Crime Investigation Department Director, CP Dato’ Sri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said they have been made aware of the scam.
