The Attorney General's Office (PGR) has warned of a phishing e-mail that claims recipients must pay an alleged parking fine. The message includes a 'Pay online' button that leads to a fraudulent webpage designed to mimic the state's Autenticação.Gov authentication platform; criminals use the fake page to harvest third-party bank account details. The PGR's Cybercrime Office highlights this tactic as part of a wider e-mail scam campaign. Recipients are advised not to follow links in unexpected messages, to verify official sites through known channels, and to report suspicious e-mails to the relevant authorities.
