The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) is continuously carrying out crackdown against fake and phishing websites that are defrauding citizens in the name of e-Challan.According to a PSCA spokesperson, with the cooperation of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), more than 100 fake and phishing websites have been blocked so far. These fraudulent websites were illegally collecting online payments from the citizens by misusing the names and logos of PSCA and e-Challan, deliberately misleading general public and were found involved in committing fraudulent financial activities.
The spokesperson warned citizens not to make any e-Challan payments on unverified, suspicious or unofficial websites. For e-Challan verification and payment, citizens are advised to use only official Punjab Safe Cities Authority website (echallan.psca.gop.pk) or the Public Safety App.
The spokesperson further stated that legal actions against individuals and groups involved in creating fake Safe City websites, fraud and public deception have been intensified. A zero-tolerance policy is being strictly enforced to ensure financial protection of citizens. PSCA remains committed to safeguarding public trust and financial security through modern technology, transparent system and effective enforcement, while continuing to provide reliable and secure public services across the province.
