The Romanian Police has issued a warning regarding false messages requesting payment of fines, warning that they do not block devices and do not ask for card details.

On October 15, the Romanian Police issued a warning regarding attempts at computer fraud involving false messages in the name of the institution. These messages announce that 'the device has been blocked' and request payment of a 'fine' through fake pages. The police emphasize that they do not block devices and do not request payment of fines online through forms that ask for card details. Victims are advised not to enter personal or banking information on these pages. The Romanian Police recommends that citizens remain vigilant and not respond to such online requests, reaffirming that they will never ask for the payment of fines through links or notifications of 'device blocking'.
