Scammers are getting smarter by the day. In one of the latest tricks, they’re sending out fake traffic fine emails that look almost exactly like the real thing. The site looks legit, the violation details check out, and before you know it, you’ve handed over your personal info to a scammer. So how do you tell the difference between a real government notice and a fake one? Here’s what to watch out for.
An email urges you to pay a traffic fine. It seems legit, so you open the link and enter your personal information. The details on the violation are all there, and the site looks just like the government’s. You are walking right into a scam.

They copied our site to a tea. When you use the interface, it asks you to enter your personal data. If you do that, you just gave them your personal data. The money might not actually get sent over.
It’s practically identical to the real deal. But it could steal your personal information. So how can you tell them apart?
The one on the left is fake and the one on the right is real. The key isn’t the website itself, but the URL. A real government site will always end in gov.tw. There are also other ways to tell.

Transport minister
Watch out! This is a scam. Motor vehicle offices will never remind you to pay fines by email. If you ever receive an email related to fines, it is 100% a scam.

If you forget to pay a fine, we will send you a formal letter in the mail within three months after the deadline. If you receive this letter, you can take it to a convenience store or to a financial institute to pay by scanning the QR code.
Scam groups spare no effort to seem legitimate, and they cast the widest net they can in hopes of cheating people out of their hard-earned money. It’s best to be suspicious and see right through their tricks.

詐騙集團詐騙方式越來越多變,甚至還會複製政府的網頁,來騙取民眾的銀行帳戶。基隆監理站表示,他們不會用"電子郵件"催繳民眾的罰單,逾期未繳的罰單,裁決單位只會寄發裁決書。交通部長陳世凱也拍影片,提醒民眾小心。
收到這樣一封催繳罰單的email,看起來,沒有什麼異樣,網址點進去,輸入個資,違規項目也寫得清清楚楚,跟監理站的網站,真的沒兩樣,但小心,有詐。

“他就是把我們監理服務網的網頁整個貼上去,那這兩個畫面點進去,都會是你的個資,轉完之後呢,基本上他就拿到你的個資,那另外可能那個錢不見得轉得出去。”
幾乎已假亂真,來騙個資,真假網站,你分得清嗎?
左邊是,是假的,右邊是真的,重點不是看網頁內容,而是看網址,有gov.tw才是真正的政府網站。另外,還有一個很好辨別的方式。
[[交通部部長 陳世凱]]
“注意,這是詐騙,監理站從現在起不會用email催繳罰單,所以只要你收到任何催繳罰單的電子郵件,絕對是詐騙。”
[[基隆監理站技正 葉東龍]]
“忘記繳納的話,我們在到案日之後的三個月內,就會做一個裁決,你會收到一個裁決書,一樣可以刷這個二維條碼,在超商還有這個金融機構做繳納。”
詐團裝專業,佈下天羅地網,想要騙取民眾的辛苦錢,一定要提高警覺,不要讓宵小得逞。
