The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has issued a warning to motorists and the public about fraudulent text messages and a fake website being used to impersonate the Corps and deceive people about alleged new road traffic offences. The scam involves unsolicited SMS messages supposedly sent by FRSC informing recipients of new "road traffic offence records" against them, urging immediate action.
The messages direct recipients to a deceptive website, "frscgov.top/ng," which FRSC states has no affiliation with the Corps. The agency disowns the messages and website, urging the public not to regard them as originating from FRSC. FRSC advises Nigerians not to click on suspicious links or make payments in response to such messages, and to avoid disclosing sensitive information such as banking details, passwords, or driver's licence information.
The Corps urges motorists to verify any alleged traffic offence directly through official FRSC channels rather than using links in unsolicited messages.
