SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): A new phishing scam involving a fake Traffic Police website which requests for the payment of traffic fines has been identifed by the police.

In an advisory on Wednesday (May 24), the police said victims are lured to the website via an SMS telling them that they have an outstanding traffic offence for speeding and that failure to pay this fine on time will incur a late fee.
