Scam email alert: do not click on attachment

Tip Published Wednesday 8 January 2025

Important: we are aware of a malicious phishing email pretending to be from an APRA AMCOS sender.

Do not click any links or attachments due to malware dangers. Simply delete the email.


A fraudulent email is being sent to general public recipients that could include members and/or licencees informing the recipient that they have detected unauthorised use of copyright music on their website and has a link to a "PDF File" which has malware.

The email is using the APRA AMCOS logo but the from address is a gmail address. It is not legitimate. There has been NO data breach within APRA AMCOS. Do not click links or open attachments. If you did access the linked file, we recommend you scan your computer for viruses or contact your IT support.

Be aware of fraudulent emails. Phishing emails will entice the recipient to click on files or attachments.
