Impersonating Absher or a government agency
A message in the name of Absher, Traffic or Passports: “update your details”, “pay your fine” or “your services will be suspended”, with a link to a fake portal that looks like the real one.

- What the scammer wants
- Your username, password and verification code, or your card details to pay a “fine”.
- What to do
- Use Absher or any government service through its official app or by typing the address yourself. Never enter your details from a link in a message, and check your fines inside Absher itself.
If you already paid or shared a code
- Call your bank right away and ask them to block the card or stop the transaction.
- Change your passwords from a safe device, and remove any unknown device linked to your accounts.
- Report it through the Kollona Amn (كلنا أمن) app.
- Don't pay anyone who promises to recover your money for a fee: that's a second scam.
