Ai primit un SMS despre o amendă? Poliția Română anunță cum funcționează frauda care îi folosește identitatea

The Romanian Police warns about a new online scam where criminals impersonate authorities to extract money or sensitive data from victims. Citizens have reported receiving fraudulent SMS messages claiming to be from the police regarding fictitious speeding fines, often with threats of penalties and urgent payment demands. The police advise the public to report such fraud attempts, avoid responding to suspicious messages, and verify payment obligations through official channels only. They emphasize that state institutions do not send fines via SMS or messaging apps.
