Scammers just never fail to run out of ideas.
I know a few people who fell for this one.
You will be sent a SMS message that informs you that you have unpaid fines. And so you worry and click on the link.. and you will then be brought to a fraudulent website that looks like a site where you can pay the fines.. and if you do pay, you have to say goodbye to your money..

While this scam is pertaining to Singapore, I am sure there are similar ones out there.
If ever you are asked to pay money online for whatever reason, always be vigilant.
