The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) warns motorists and the public about scams involving unsolicited text messages and a fraudulent website that impersonate the agency and claim there are new road traffic offences. In a public statement, FRSC urges people not to click links in suspicious SMS messages or engage with content that appears to come from the Corps.
The FRSC says the fraudulent messages are used to deceive recipients, including by directing them to external links, while a fake site is also reportedly used to carry out the impersonation. Both outlets report that the warning is meant to prevent people from falling victim to phishing or other online fraud schemes presented as traffic-related notifications.
While the outlets differ slightly in emphasis—one highlights the risk of clicking SMS links and the other adds the presence of a counterfeit website—the core message is consistent: FRSC does not use such unsolicited messages or a fake site to notify people about offences. The Corps advises the public to be cautious and verify information through official FRSC channels before taking any action.
