Police on Monday warned people not to respond if they receive messages asking them to pay traffic fines through a web link.

The police cybercrime unit has received multiple complaints about fake messages being sent referring to pending fines that could be paid through a link.

It warned people not to open suspicious links or share personal and banking information.

“The police won’t communicate with people in such a way,” the unit said.

People can contact the police for complaints or to get more information.
