DVLA warns public against fake fine payment messages

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has cautioned motorists and the general public against a fraudulent scheme in which scammers send fake text messages requesting recipients to pay supposed DVLA fines through unauthorised online platforms.

The Authority further clarified that all legitimate online payments for its services are processed exclusively through the Government of Ghana's official payment platform, while its only official website is therefore, advised motorists not to click on suspicious links, disclose personal or financial information, or make payments through websites or digital platforms purporting to represent the Authority without verification.

The DVLA encouraged the public to confirm the authenticity of any communication relating to fines or vehicle licensing through its official website, accredited DVLA offices or recognised communication channels before making any payment.
