Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Police in Casablanca arrested two men, aged 23 and 28, for their involvement in a sophisticated fraudulent scheme. The suspects allegedly used phishing tactics to impersonate the National Road Safety Agency (NARSA), sending SMS messages to victims claiming they had unpaid traffic violations. These messages directed individuals to a fraudulent electronic portal designed to mimic the official NARSA website to collect payments. Beyond the impersonation scam, investigations revealed the suspects were involved in international telecommunications piracy. They reportedly used specialized information systems to intercept national networks, converting international calls into local ones to exploit price differences. During searches in Casablanca and Settat, authorities seized various electronic devices, a laptop, dozens of SIM cards, and top-up cards. The National Judicial Police Brigade is continuing its investigation into the full extent of the criminal activities. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-23: Casablanca police arrest two men in fake traffic fine scam Two men were arrested in Casablanca, Morocco, for allegedly running a scam that used fake NARSA traffic fine notifications to defraud citizens via fraudulent websites. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/casablanca-police-arrest-two-men-in-fake-traffic-fine-scam ### 2026-10-18: Casablanca police arrest two for phone hacking and NARSA impersonation fraud Two men were arrested in Casablanca for suspected international phone hacking and online fraud involving the impersonation of the National Road Safety Agency (NARSA) to steal money via fake websites. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/casablanca-police-arrest-two-for-phone-hacking-and-narsa-impersonation-fraud --- Cite as: Casablanca cybercrime and NARSA impersonation arrests.
