KUWAIT CITY, Nov 4: The General Directorate of Relations and Security Awareness has issued a cautionary notice, advising the public to exercise vigilance and refrain from engaging with fraudulent messages or unknown sources. These deceptive messages deceitfully impose financial penalties for alleged failure to settle traffic violations, underlining the fraudulent nature of such activities.

The Directorate stressed that the Ministry of Interior dispatches legitimate alerts and notifications via the "Sahel" application to address any traffic violations requiring attention. These official notifications serve to keep individuals informed and ensure their compliance with traffic regulations. It is crucial to exercise caution and validate the authenticity of any received communication, particularly when it pertains to financial matters or legal responsibilities.

This advisory serves as a timely reminder for the public to maintain vigilance against potential scams and to depend on official channels for all communication concerning fines or legal issues. Remaining well-informed contributes to avoiding falling prey to deceptive schemes and upholding adherence to traffic rules and regulations.
