Hi Andrew

Coincidentally I got one like this from TfL today too with a zip file but it was sent to the wrong email address and was addressed Dear customer - they always address you by name.

Getting too clever by half. I've never known as many spam emails as I've received lately from people I know who've had their accounts hacked.

Trouble is it's easy to be fooled into opening something when the message purports to come from your own bank (even when you've had dozens of the same from other banks) or as in this case when you were half expecting some communication from TfL. Be pleased Macs don't open exe files!

Sorry - I am wrong. My partner has NOT yet paid the congestion charge
but is just about to - so this email confused me by being sent,
coincidentally, on the same day as I was expecting a receipt. So Sam and
Russell, you are correct - it obviously is a phishing exercise. I shall
delete it and wait for the REAL email to arrive.

Thanks,

Andrew

I HAVE paid the congestion charge this morning as I’m going to
Bankside later today and thought this might be the receipt - which
they have sent on previous occasions but in a form that I could open.

I'm not sure TfL would send you an executable file to get you to pay
a congestion charge, which you can pay on line. Suspect it is spam.

    Hi. I’ve just had an email from Transport for London to do with
    paying the congestion charge - which I can’t open. I get the
    following message

    Any ideas as how I can open this? Thanks
