PUTRAJAYA: The road transport department (JPJ) has warned the public against clicking on any links in SMS texts purportedly from the department.
JPJ director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli said the department had never issued SMS messages containing links related to driving licence matters.
“We have received complaints about SMS messages with links regarding driving licences.
“These messages, sent under the name MyJPJ, contain phishing links designed to deceive the public,” he said.
Aedy Fadly advised the public to be wary of unauthorised platforms offering JPJ services to prevent fraud and financial losses, and to refer to or contact JPJ for further information.
“JPJ remains committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of the public, particularly JPJ customers.
“Official complaints can be lodged via the JPJ complaint portal at https://jpj.spab.gov.my/,” he said.
