Beware of the following type of e-mail scam!!


Above is a partial scan of an e-mail I have recently received twice.

It appears to be a speeding ticket notice from the New York State Police. The only problem is I have not been to New York in quite a long time.

The above notice is likely a scam as it requires you to open an attachment which is a very popular choice for sending many types of computer viruses.

If you are sure you have not driven in New York State lately, get rid of this e-mail immediately!!

If you are from New York or have driven in New York and are NOT sure if it is a real ticket, I would advise you to call up the New York State Police by phone to verify if you actually have a ticket because I doubt the New York State Police issues tickets on the Internet in this manner.
