Scammers are sending out text messages claiming motorists have 'overdue' fines with the LTO through the no contact apprehension policy. This policy is not currently in effect.

Scammers are sending out text messages claiming motorists have 'overdue' fines with the LTO through the no contact apprehension policy. This policy is not currently in effect.

In two separate reports obtained by Rappler, motorists received text messages alleging that they have a “traffic offence fine that is 3 days overdue.” The text message included a clickable link, and further threatened motorists by saying that their vehicle registration would be canceled if the fine is not settled.

Upon clicking the link, motorists were redirected to a fake Land Transportation Office website. The URL did not end in “.gov.ph,” unlike the real government site. Both motorists also reported entering their plate number in the website, after which a fake message from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority was displayed. In both instances monitored by Rappler, the message had the exact same details, including the “summon number” and alleged traffic offense. It also bore the vehicle plate number earlier inputted by the unsuspecting motorist.
