1 July 2026 – The Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) wishes to alert vehicle owners about a scam currently going around which demands immediate payment for traffic fines. TRMC said Vehicle owners are advised to exercise vigilance not fall prey to digitalscammers, who are sending scam emails through fraudulent websites designed to confuse them and steal money or personal information.
TRMC spokesperson, Simon Zwane said they have discovered a scam email purporting to be ‘official communication from the National Traffic Information System’ from the department of transport. Zwane said the scam email demands immediate action to pay overdue traffic fines.
“The URL address is (natis.online.services) this is fake and a scam and its connection is unsecured. We put it on record that the RTMC through its online services website does not send fine notices to motorists. Any fine notice received by a motorist purporting to be from the online.natis.gov.za should be treated as a scam,” he said.
