SINGAPORE \u2013 The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has alerted the public to stay vigilant against e-mails impersonating the authority that claim the recipients have unpaid fines and Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges.<\/p>\n
In a Facebook post on May 27, the transport regulator said that such e-mails often demand urgent action from recipients, requiring them to make payments through PayNow and log in with their Singpass accounts.<\/p>\n
The messages are designed to steal users\u2019 personal details, LTA said in the post.<\/p>\n
It also advised motorists to refer to official communications channels and check for outstanding fines through the OneMotoring website.<\/p>\n
Those who have received such e-mails are reminded to not make payments or click on any unknown links.<\/p>\n
The official advisory comes after a Reddit post on May 26, in which a user shared a screenshot of an e-mail impersonating LTA.<\/p>\n
The e-mail informed the recipient of outstanding ERP fees, and urged the person to click on a link that has \u201ceverything you need to resolve this issue\u201d.<\/p>\n
