The fraudulent messages claim that traffic violations, such as running a red light, come with a settlement order of KD4.500. However, the actual fine for such a violation is KD50. This discrepancy raises a red flag about the authenticity of the message.

Upon clicking the link provided in the message, recipients are likely to encounter numerous errors, both in the content and the link itself. The message and its associated link contain numerous fallacies, further confirming the fraudulent nature of the communication.

The Ministry of Interior has clarified that traffic fines can only be paid through official channels such as the Ministry of Interior's website or the Sahel application. Individuals should avoid making payments through any external links provided in suspicious messages.

Additionally, the Ministry of Interior does not send messages using international phone numbers. Any message received from an unfamiliar international number should be treated with caution, and the sender's identity must be verified.

Responding to fraudulent messages can lead to significant risks, including financial loss. The Ministry has warned that providing personal or banking details in response to such messages can result in the theft of funds from the recipient's bank account.
