What is the MyBayar scam?
This scam came to light when the Cyber Crime Department of the Royal Malaysian Police issued a warning to motorists not to be duped by the MyBayar Scam on August 7, 2023. According to the report, This scam offers a cheap fine of RM50 to motorists whose amount is conditional on payment within 5 days. Scammers trick motorists by sending them a fake, official-looking email warning them that they have been caught breaking the law.
