Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) has recently uncovered a new fraudulent tactic employed by scam syndicates. These scammers are sending deceptive emails to individuals, masquerading as traffic authorities and claiming that the recipients are subject to traffic fines and summons.
According to Datuk Mohd Nasri Omar, Deputy Director of Jabatan Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik (JSPT) at Bukit Aman, the emails are being widely circulated and bear the official PDRM logo to mislead the public. The email further threatens legal action if the alleged ‘summary’ is not clarified promptly.
The scam email also includes a request for users to make online payments or provide personal information through a suspicious link.

Authorities are urging the public to stay vigilant against such fraud tactics. It is essential to note that the police do not conduct payment transactions via emails, and any official communications will be done through other secure channels.
If you receive any suspicious emails claiming traffic offenses, be cautious and refrain from clicking on any links or providing sensitive information. It is advisable to verify any traffic summons or fines directly through official channels or by contacting the authorities directly.
Protect yourself and stay informed to avoid falling victim to these malicious scams.
