ACT Policing is to start issuing speeding tickets and criminal infringement notices through a new email system. Those issued with an infringement notice will have the option of being given a hard copy or receiving the notice via email. Following the introduction of the system, ACT Policing has also published advice on how to spot a genuine ticket sent via email versus a fake scam ticket. Genuine tickets will be sent from an official AFP address, will include your personal details and will not request payment via a link in the email. Station Sergeant Marcus Boorman said it was important to pay close attention to the emailed tickets. "The recipients of legitimate traffic infringement notices from ACT Policing will be expecting them," he said. "However, make sure you read through the email to ensure it is legitimate. "All infringements will be sent from an official AFP email address and include a digital version of the infringement notices. "If you receive an email from ACT Policing that asks for payment and includes any links, it's spam." Anyone who suspected they had received a scam email should contact the Australian Cybercrime Online Reporting Network.
