Motorists warned about a new scheme of deception with traffic fines

Drivers can get fake traffic fine notices that list fraudsters’ bank details. Such documents look like official regulations, but they can be recognized by several signs. This is stated in the materials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, which TASS got acquainted with.

First of all, you should pay attention to the method of receiving notification. If it was sent by e-mail or messenger, you should not follow the specified link and transfer money. Information about these fines appears in the personal account on "State Services" and on the official website of the traffic police.

The authenticity of the document can also be verified by the data of the recipient of the payment. According to the rules, the funds on the official receipt are transferred to the Office of the Federal Treasury. The indication as the addressee of an electronic payment system may indicate that the money will not go to the budget, but to the account of intruders.

In addition, the decree should indicate a unique accrual identifier - UIN. It includes 20 or 25 digits and makes it possible to verify the existence of debt through official databases.

Earlier, the interior Ministry warned of fraud under the pretext of a gift in the popular messenger.
