Beware phony scam Speeding Ticket emails
The latest scam doing the rounds is the phony speeding ticket. Several of these have arrived by email claiming to come from Greater Manchester Police (GMP). They are entirely bogus and if it wasn’t for the fact that they are perpetrated by thieving scumbags, one could almost admire their ingenuity.
DO NOT CLICK the button labelled ‘Examine Fixed Speed Camera Evidence’ as it clicks through to a hijacked website hosting a malicious script. That is how PCs get infected with viruses, ransomware, keyloggers and similar malware.
Just to be clear, the domain names used as the sender / evidence URL are spoofed, so don't blame them for the scam.
Watch out for these arriving in your Inbox and be sure to spread the word!
