KUALA LUMPUR – Police today confirmed that the promotional advertisement offering up to a 50% discount on summons until Wednesday on the WhatsApp app is fake.
Royal Malaysia Police secretary Datuk Noorsiah Mohd Saaduddin said the advertisement, which offered up to a 50% discount on police and Road Transport Department summons, also displayed the phone number of individuals who could be contacted to obtain the purported discount.
“Investigations are being carried out to track down the individuals responsible for spreading the fake news and advertisements.
“People who receive the promotional advertisement are asked not to be influenced or contact the numbers provided,” she said in a statement today.
She also advised the public to check the authenticity of the news, especially on the offer to reduce the summons, through the police force’s official media channels to avoid becoming a victim of fraud. – Bernama, July 17, 2022
