Fake messages about alleged traffic violations defraud citizens in Cyprus
Cyprus Police is receiving reports of fraudulent messages circulated via social media and mobile phones. The messages urge recipients to follow an electronic link in order to pay alleged fines for road traffic violations.
The perpetrators have a dual objective: to obtain money from victims or to steal personal and banking data. The police emphasise that they do not communicate with the public in this manner and do not send payment links via SMS or social media platforms.
Citizens are urged not to open suspicious links and not to share personal or banking details with unknown senders. This is a form of electronic fraud that targets the financial exploitation of unsuspecting users.
