Escrocherii în numele unor instituţii publice. Rămâi fără bani, ți se fură datele. Avertismentul Poliției • Newsweek România

The Romanian Police has issued a warning about a new online fraud scheme where scammers impersonate public institutions to extract money and personal data from citizens. Victims receive SMS or messaging app notifications claiming they owe fines, creating a sense of urgency to prompt immediate payment. The police emphasize that these scams exploit public trust and recommend verifying payment obligations through official channels, avoiding links in messages, and reporting fraud attempts. Citizens are advised to protect their personal information and contact their banks if they have shared sensitive data.
