The South Windsor Police Department is warning residents not to buy in to a “speed camera” email scam.
According to police, one of their dispatchers received an email claiming she owned a fine for a speeding ticket from South Windsor police. The email said a “speed camera” captured the offense and contained a link that claimed to be photo proof of the incident.
The would-be victim in this case knew the email was not legitimate and reported it.
South Windsor police said speed cameras are not used in Connecticut and cautioned anyone who receives a similar email not to click any links, as they may contain viruses or malware. Police also reminded residents that they don’t send ticket information via email.
