Thieves send false messages about increasing fines. They aim to steal bank details.

INCIBE identified a new wave of fraudsters. They send messages with links to fake DGT websites. The goal is to steal personal data and credit card numbers.

Scammers use time pressure. They state the fine increased from 100 to 200 euros. They claim it will reach 400 euros within 24 hours. Websites use official logos. Their addresses are not authentic. Victims see a false speeding ticket request for payment.

Do not click links in suspicious SMS messages or emails. Check fine status only on the official DGT website (sede.dgt.es) or the official app. Contact DGT or the police directly if unsure.
