Did you know that the Federal Police now hand out traffic infringements?

Email I received tonight...

I guess the author of this gem is not from an English- speaking background?... and does not have a good grasp of copy/edit/paste,
as the expiry date for payment was a week ago.

Do not click on the link what ever you do, its ransom ware, and will lock up your files so unless you pay the ransom it all gone.

The story was just on the news.

[Kev Murphy]

That email has more holes than a kitchen strainer, and was delegated to File 13 immediately after I took the screen shot to post here.

You have to wonder, with there grasp of the English language being close to zip, how anybody would fall into there hands....so to speak.

[Brock]

The same goes for all those scams.

For a start, how would they get your email address. ( I have several )

[Kev Murphy]

I actually have 9 email addys, the oldest being yahoo mail, dating back to 1995... this is where I collect most spam.

I still get the odd email from 'Adriana' of various spellings, promoting some porn site.....  she has been 21 years old for the past 20 years...

See!  The internet not only fends off Alzheimer's disease.  It keeps you young.

Quite apart from the grammar, Kev, I could tell instantly that it was a fake.
Genuine AFP infringement notices always end with the following sentence.
"BTW do you know who my father is?"

I received that exact email to a work email address last week, same dates and offence etc.  We even got a warning from our IT department to not be sucked in by it....
