The Ghana Police Service has cautioned the public about a circulating scam involving fake electronic traffic violation notices. Individuals are reportedly receiving messages claiming they have committed traffic offences and are being asked to make payments.
The Service stressed that these electronic notices are not issued by the Police and are entirely fraudulent. Members of the public are urged not to make any payments in response to such messages.
Authorities warned that anyone caught creating or sharing these false notices could face arrest and prosecution under the law.
The Police Service explained that Ghana’s automated traffic enforcement system, Traffitech-GH, is still in the planning stage and requires parliamentary approval before it can be implemented. The public will be informed once the system is officially rolled out.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Transport, National Road Safety Authority, DVLA, National Insurance Commission, and Ministry of Finance, the Police are working to ensure that only legitimate traffic enforcement notices are issued.
Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious traffic violation messages directly to the Ghana Police Service.
