Kuwait: MOI Clarifies Traffic Fine Procedures Amid Rising Text Scams Security officials have issued a formal warning to citizens and residents regarding a surge in deceptive text messages. These scams pressure recipients into paying traffic fines by threatening a tenfold increase in penalties—from KD 20 to KD 200.
Officials emphasize that these messages are a “phishing” tactic designed to compromise bank accounts. The public is reminded that the Ministry of Interior utilizes only the Sahl application and its official website for fine settlements. Security forces are currently tracking these international criminal organizations and urge everyone to remain vigilant and ignore any unsolicited payment links.
