Overview
- Officials said fraudulent messages sent from [email protected] with the subject “Multa por infracción de votación” appeared after the Oct. 26 legislative elections.
- The emails impersonate Mi Argentina and instruct recipients to “regularize” an alleged infraction via a link that leads to a fake site.
- The Cámara Nacional Electoral stated it never emails to collect fines and directed citizens to verify status only at infractores.padron.gov.ar.
- According to cybersecurity reporting, the spoofed pages ask for personal and credit card details that criminals later use for online purchases or account access.
- Coverage reminded that nonvoters have 60 days to justify or pay through official channels, with fines varying by jurisdiction, from a national range of 50–500 pesos to higher amounts reported in provinces such as Buenos Aires and Chubut.
