The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has issued a warning to the public regarding a text scam that falsely claims to be associated with the agency’s No-Contact Apprehension program.
According to reports, individuals have been receiving text messages informing them of alleged traffic violations recorded by the MMDA’s No-Contact Apprehension system. The messages instruct recipients to settle their fines by depositing money into a designated bank account.
MMDA spokesperson, Celine Pialago, emphasized that the agency does not engage in such practices and does not solicit payments through text messages. The No-Contact Apprehension program operates solely through official channels, and fines are settled through legitimate payment methods.
The MMDA advises the public to be cautious and discerning when receiving unsolicited messages claiming to be from government agencies. Individuals are urged to verify the authenticity of such communications by directly contacting the respective agency through official channels.
Furthermore, the MMDA encourages the public to report any instances of suspected fraud or scam attempts to the appropriate authorities for investigation and action.
The MMDA remains committed to upholding transparency and integrity in its operations and urges the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent activities that exploit the agency’s name for illicit purposes.
For inquiries or concerns related to traffic violations and the No-Contact Apprehension program, individuals are advised to contact the MMDA through its official communication channels.
