Fake Parking Ticket Emails Carry Malware
The emails spotted by Hoax Slayer read something like this:
The file that’s attached to the email is not a document containing more information, as cybercriminals want potential victims to believe. Instead, it’s a piece of malware.

Internauts in the UK who receive such emails are advised to report them to Action Fraud.
