La NTSA met en garde le public contre des SMS frauduleux concernant des amendes routières

La National Transport and Safety Authority a averti les Kenyans au sujet de faux messages SMS prétendant à tort l'existence d'infractions routières et redirigeant les destinataires vers des liens de paiement suspects.

La National Transport and Safety Authority a confirmé le 24 mai que ces messages sont frauduleux. La NTSA a déclaré qu'elle ne perçoit pas d'amendes routières via des SMS non sollicités ou des plateformes non vérifiées. Les fraudeurs envoient ces messages depuis la mi-mai à partir de numéros incluant le 0141 583648 et le +254 795 729 389. Les textes incitent à effectuer des paiements via des liens vers de faux sites web qui demandent des coordonnées bancaires telles que le nom, le numéro de carte et le CVV. La NTSA a précisé que ses communications officielles utilisent les codes courts NTSA ou 22847_NTSA ainsi que le site web ntsa.go.ke. L'autorité a conseillé aux destinataires de ne pas cliquer sur les liens, de ne pas répondre ou payer, et de supprimer les messages. Ceux qui ont déjà effectué un paiement doivent contacter leur banque immédiatement. La NTSA collabore avec les agences d'enquête pour identifier les responsables.
