The Comisión Ejecutiva Portuaria Autónoma (CEPA) has issued an alert regarding fraudulent text messages that use the institution’s name to claim there are outstanding payments for airport parking services. The organization warned that these communications are part of a scam and urged users to remain vigilant to avoid falling victim.
According to information shared by CEPA, the messages notify recipients of an alleged outstanding balance related to parking and ask them to click a link to view payment details and settle the amount.
These communications contain fraudulent links designed to harvest confidential information from recipients. To build trust, the senders use CEPA’s name, presenting the message as an official notification regarding one of the institution’s services.
The organization advises against clicking on suspicious links or providing personal or banking information. It also urges caution regarding messages from unknown numbers, especially those requesting payments or asking users to complete processes via external websites.
CEPA emphasized the importance of verifying any notices concerning airport charges or services through its official social media accounts and communication channels. This allows users to confirm the legitimacy of a notification before carrying out any transactions or sharing their data.
The institution also noted that users can reach out via its official WhatsApp number, +503 7070 8312, to verify information. This measure is intended to prevent individuals from responding to payment requests without first confirming their authenticity.
Additionally, CEPA has set up the number 2999-9999 to report such incidents. The institution encourages the public to report suspicious communications and to avoid sharing them without warning others that they could be attempts at fraud.
This alert aims to prevent more people from falling victim to scams that exploit the names of institutions to obtain personal and banking information. For this reason, CEPA reiterated its call to be cautious, verify information, and avoid clicking on links sent via text messages from unknown sources.
