Scammers Exploit Automobile Club of Italy Notoriety via Phishing Campaign

A phishing campaign is currently targeting motorists across Italy by impersonating the Automobile Club of Italy (ACI). Scammers have created two fake websites, acitalia.info and acitalia.click, which faithfully copy ACI's name, logo, and graphics. These sites exploit the current discussion regarding the government's announcement about the suspension of car tax payments for vehicles up to 80 kW in 2027. The fraudulent sites warn users of alleged unpaid taxes and threaten administrative sanctions and traffic restrictions.

The campaign is designed to trick users into believing they are interacting with official ACI channels. The fake pages request sensitive information, such as tax codes and vehicle registration numbers, under the guise of institutional communication. CERT-AgID has raised the alarm regarding this fraudulent activity.
