The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads is warning customers about fraudulent emails which contain a spam attachment.
Acting Director-General Neil Scales said the emails looked like they were sent by the department and contained a “confirmation receipt” as a zip file attachment.
“These are spam and have not been sent by us,” Mr Scales said.
“We recommend you take normal security precautions with your email account and do not open the file.
“We are investigating the issue and thank customers for bringing this to our attention.”
Mr Scales recommended customers followed up their transactions or important emails with a phone call or visit a Customer Service Centre while the issue was being addressed.
