Motorists warned about AARTO traffic fine payment scam

The Road Traffic Infringement Agency (RTIA) has warned motorists to be wary of scammers who are calling motorists and giving them certain bank accounts to deposit money to clear their AARTO traffic fines.

RTIA tweeted: “URGENT NOTICE to all motorists: It has come to our attention @rtia_aarto that there is a SCAM out there of crooks phoning motorists instructing them to pay money into certain bank accounts in order to clear their traffic fines. Below are the only authorised AARTO payment platforms”
