Common SMS fraud disguised as HGS debt warning: Personal data is targeted with a 795 TL mobile payment link

In the SMS sent under the guise of traffic toll notification, it is stated that the vehicle owner has an unpaid HGS debt of 795.00 TL.

The user who clicks on the short link in the SMS is first directed to the fake page opened in the mobile browser.

Cyber ​​security researcher and journalist Ebubekir Bastama stated that during the examination, he found that the site was only opened on mobile devices and that a phone number was requested at the first stage.

This Fake SMS was detected by a citizen who was trained by Bastama. 

An example of the SMS text is as follows:
"Dear Vehicle Owner, According to the system records, the highway toll for your vehicle has not been paid because your HGS balance is insufficient. To avoid being penalized, please complete your payment by October 14, 2025. Unpaid Amount: 795.00 TL Payment Link: https:[//]kgminfo[.]cc/gv?qr=3urgOi"
In the mobile browser that clicks on the link, the phone number is requested at the first stage;

Messages that come with the names of official institutions but cannot be verified should not be relied upon.

• Never click on the incoming link and delete the message.

• Blocking the sending number and reporting it to the mobile operator.

• If the phone number and card information are entered, immediately contact the bank and have the card blocked.

Official institutions generally do not request payment directly through short links within SMS.
