New Phishing scheme discovered that sends you and email stating that you have a Traffic Violation for speeding. When you click onto the link, it takes the person to any one of newly registered domains to infect your machine with malware and other nasties.
So this is the only time that you may get an email with links on it from unknown entities or from someone looking official and it is OK to click on the links ?
ARE YOU NUTS?! Never ever EVER click on links contained in email from someone unknown or even something official looking! Mouse over the link and check to see if the actual site it says IS the exact site There are a lot of tricks to test this and ensure that the link IS what they say it is. But nothing ever saves you like NOT opening or clicking on and email from an unknown entity!
Besides, if you DID get a speeding ticket or violation, it will show up in regular snail mail!
