Fake Speeding Notifications

Published: Posted on

Quite a few fake speeding tickets have been sent to University members.  There have been variations of this type of email, all claiming to be from  Greater Manchester Police.  The link in this example led to a page inviting you to open a document and asked for your username and password.  Another very similar message had a link leading to a malicious javascript (.js) program which could infect your computer.

The image shows an example of a fake speeding notification and illustrates aspects of the email that make it look suspicious.
