Ignore fraudulent SMS messages claiming to offer fine discounts - DVLA
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) warned the public to be vigilant against a growing scam involving fraudulent text messages that deceive motorists into making payments through fake online platforms under the pretext of settling DVLA fines. The Authority stated, "The DVLA does not offer discounts on fines. Any SMS, website, platform, or person claiming to offer discounted DVLA fines is fraudulent."
The DVLA identified fraudsters sending SMS messages with payment links to unsuspecting members of the public, falsely claiming to collect fines on behalf of the DVLA. Recipients who click these links are redirected to fake websites prompting payment for purported DVLA fines, often with promises of discounted penalties or warnings of urgent payment deadlines. The only approved online payment platform for DVLA transactions is the Government of Ghana's official payment platform, Ghana.gov.gh, while the Authority's official website remains dvla.gov.gh. The DVLA advised the public to verify all DVLA-related information through its official website, recognized DVLA offices, or approved communication channels before making any payments.
