PDRM says viral posts and messages offering traffic summons discounts on social media and messaging apps are fake. The public is advised to verify any summons information only through official channels.
Police have denied a viral claim that traffic summons discounts are being offered through social media platforms and messaging apps. According to PDRM, the circulating material is false and not issued by the police.
The warning is meant to stop the public from being misled by unofficial posts or messages that appear to promote special payment offers. PDRM reminded road users to be careful when they see summons-related claims online.
The police also stressed that summons information should only be checked through official PDRM channels. The article did not say that any real discount campaign is currently running through the viral messages.
For motorists, the key point is simple: do not act on random links, screenshots or forwarded messages. Verify first before making any payment or sharing your details.
What it means for you: always verify summons notices through official PDRM channels before paying or sharing any personal information.
