The General Directorate of Traffic has issued a warning to the public about fraudulent text messages being circulated by unknown parties.

These messages falsely claim that the recipient has pending traffic violations and include fake payment links designed to steal personal information.

Authorities urge citizens and residents to verify traffic violations only through official platforms and applications, and to avoid clicking on any unofficial links.

Individuals who receive such messages are advised to report the incident immediately and block the sender. The warning comes as part of ongoing efforts to protect the public from online scams and ensure the security of personal data.
