Receiving SMS messages about fake traffic infringements from an unknown number raises red flags for potential scams. These often include photos of vehicles that don't match your details, aiming to trick recipients into paying bogus fines or clicking malicious links. Block the number immediately and avoid responding or providing any information. Report the incident to your local authorities or consumer protection agency to help track such fraud. If you've shared personal data, monitor your accounts closely for unusual activity. Staying vigilant against SMS scams like these prevents financial loss—always verify official notices through legitimate channels.
Received a text containing images of traffic violations for my vehicles, the sender listed as “unknown” linked to 0839300024.
Just a flood of spam, lol.
An infringement notice arrived via SMS, even attaching a photo of a car with my registration, though it isn’t my vehicle—clearly a scam.
