The Sint Maarten Police (KPSM) is warning the public about the circulation of fake messages concerning an alleged unpaid traffic fine. These messages, presented as coming from the traffic police, contain a link to a fraudulent website that mimics the official Public Prosecutor's Office website (Openbaar Ministerie).
The message mentions a 48-hour payment deadline and threatens the recipient with further penalties to encourage swift action. It advises against clicking the link, making any payment, or providing any personal or banking information. It also requests that recipients not reply to the message, especially with "Ja." Those who have received this message are urged to delete it immediately and not to contact the sender. The police are calling for vigilance and encouraging the public to share this alert with their contacts.
