Ghana Motorists Warned to Verify TraffiTech-GH Notices to Avoid Scams

The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) has warned motorists in Ghana to be cautious of fraudulent messages designed to steal financial information. These messages falsely accuse recipients of traffic offences and direct them to suspicious links to pay purported fines. The CSA observed that such messages contain ticket and vehicle details to make the allegations appear genuine. Recipients who click on the links are redirected to fraudulent payment portals and asked to provide sensitive financial information.

The CSA's public notice, dated November 9, 2026, follows an earlier alert by the Ghana Police Service on November 2, 2026. The Police warned motorists about receiving messages from ordinary mobile phone numbers claiming their vehicles had been captured committing traffic offences. The messages direct recipients to shortened web links to settle the alleged fines. The Police reiterated their warning, advising vehicle owners against paying traffic fines into personal mobile money numbers or through unofficial accounts.

To identify genuine traffic notices, motorists are advised to check that Electronic Notices of Violation (ENV) issued under the TraffiTech-GH system originate from the official sender ID, GPS-MTTD. Motorists should treat messages from other numbers with caution and verify the details of alleged offences before making payments. The details to check include the vehicle registration number, location, date, and time of the alleged violation.

Motorists can use their ticket numbers to access photographic and video evidence of alleged traffic offences through the official TraffiTech-GH portal. This allows vehicle owners to check the evidence relating to an alleged violation before making a payment or challenging the notice. The Police have identified https://traffitech-ghpay.nib.com.gh as the official payment portal for verified traffic fines.

Motorists can also use the USSD code 7100# to settle verified fines. Payments can also be made through the government's Ghana.gov payment platform. The Service has cautioned motorists against transferring money to personal mobile money numbers or private accounts, as such payments are not recognised as official traffic fine payments.

Motorists who disagree with an Electronic Notice of Violation have 14 days from its issuance to contest the alleged offence. Those who receive suspicious messages or require assistance with the TraffiTech-GH system can contact the Police on 191 or the toll-free number 18555. Further enquiries about the system can be directed to its call centre on 059 692 2402.

The CSA has urged the public not to click on suspicious links, disclose banking information, or share one-time passwords (OTPs) in response to unsolicited messages. People who encounter suspected cybercrime incidents can report them through the CSA's 24-hour Cybersecurity/Cybercrime Incident Reporting Point of Contact on 292, WhatsApp on 0501603111, or email at This email address is being protected from spambots.
