THE Royal Malaysia Police have urged the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes that misuse the names of PDRM and MyBayar PDRM, allegedly linked to outstanding toll payments or traffic offences.
The Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department said the syndicates’ modus operandi involves sending messages containing random links that lead to websites designed to closely resemble official PDRM portals.
“Victims will be instructed to click the ‘Pay Now’ button before being asked to provide personal or banking details.
“PDRM and the Road Transport Department have never sent payment notices via random links or through WhatsApp,” the department said in a statement posted on Facebook today.
Police emphasised that members of the public should not click on suspicious links or disclose any banking information to unknown parties.
They advised that all information related to summonses or payments should be verified only through official government websites or at authorised agency counters.
“PDRM also urges the public to report any attempted scams to the police or to the Commercial Crime Investigation Department’s Scam Response Centre for further action,” the statement said.January 3, 2025
