Fake Taxi Permit
Scammers, pretending to be LTA officials, call and ask for funds in return for a taxi permit.
Scam Identification Points:
- Taxi permits are not distributed without due process and proper application processing. All legitimate payment is made directly to LTA, not to someone’s personal M-PAiSA number.
- LTA or any other legitimate business transaction will not request funds to be transferred to any personal M-PAiSA number. Use M-PAiSA QR or payment options in M-PAiSA to make payments to businesses to avoid being scammed.
- Legitimate transactions to LTA or any business will provide a receipt for payment.
- To obtain a taxi permit, proper application process with LTA must be followed.
