Following a case of identity theft, fraudulent e-mails are currently circulating, apparently from Spa Grand Prix, with the aim of harvesting users' bank details.
The e-mail invites users to click on a link to obtain a €50 gift voucher. This is an attempt at phishing. Do not click on the link or share any information if the email seems suspicious.
Pay attention to the following:
- The email address used is the correct Spa Grand Prix address. Be particularly suspicious when you receive e-mails from them.
- The e-mail contains a link that redirects you to a fake website that looks exactly like the Spa Grand Prix website.
- You are invited to share your bank details. Don't do it, it's phishing.
