The Australian Federal Police are warning online users about a scam email which appears to be from the AFP, instructing recipients to pay a Traffic Infringement Notice.
In a post on the AFP Facebook page, they stated:
"This scam did the rounds last year, and unfortunately it’s reared its ugly head again. Please help us warn others.
DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS. PLEASE JUST DELETE IT.
We will NEVER send you a traffic infringement notice by email.
There's no need to call us to tell us you got it. But if you inadvertently click on a link and suspect your computer or phone might be affected by a virus, you may need to contact a professional computer expert for help."
Anyone who receives this email on PC or laptop is advised to hold the "Shift" key and then "Delete" to remove from your inbox.
