This morning, so-called ‘phishing emails’ were sent in the name of Spa Grand Prix, the organizer of the Belgian GP. The email will inform you that you are one of the 10,000 happy loyal customers who have been selected for a 50 euro purchase voucher.
The email in question has been very well imitated and appears in many ways to be a real email from Spa Grand Prix. You will be addressed by your full name, which you probably once provided when ordering tickets for the Belgian GP. So there may be a data breach.
Organizer Spa Grand Prix responded by sending an email with the following message:
Ir/Madam,
