Israel Police issued a warning Wednesday morning about a phishing campaign in which fraudulent messages impersonating official police and traffic fines center notices demand payment via a malicious link. The public is advised not to click the link and to delete the message.
Israel Police on Wednesday warned the public of a phishing scam in which text messages impersonating the police and the traffic fines center demand payment of a fine via a link. The messages are fraudulent, the police said, and are designed to steal personal information or money. The scam follows a pattern of similar phishing campaigns in recent months targeting Israeli drivers, including messages impersonating the GOV.IL portal, the Israel Electric Corporation, and payment companies such as Pango. Police advise recipients to ignore the link and report suspicious messages.
