Scammers Pose as Police in Fake Traffic Fine SchemeIf you get a text claiming you owe money for a traffic ticket, police say don’t click and don’t pay.
The Belize Police Department is warning the public about a scam message now making the rounds by text and online.
The fake notice claims the recipient committed a traffic offence and must pay through a website or face penalties, including license suspension or legal action.
They’re urging the public not to share personal or financial information, and to verify any traffic-related notice through official Government of Belize channels.
