We are receiving many reports of fake emails in which cybercriminals are posing as the Flemish Roads and Traffic Agency. Be careful, this email is trying to mislead you by mentioning a road tax bill.
In the email, the fraudsters ask you to click on a link to view the supposed document so that they can obtain your details and then defraud you. It is striking that the fraudsters try to appear more credible by even warning you about phishing in their message.
Do not click on links like this and, if in doubt, always consult the official website https://www.burgerprofiel.be/.
