FYI..
Partial copy of Email received, less personal info., seemingly from Fines SA.
Recipient has no previous knowledge or interaction of any kind with them.
The personal info is assumed to be made available from the AARTO database.
The recipient has no recollection of any related speed trappings.
The list of offences do not state where the alleged trapping occurred.
Also has received no infringement notices by registered or other mail. Intends to totally ignore this apparent extortion attempt.

Ed: This listing of fictitious offences continues with 5 more each with identical Rand amounts.

We suggest keeping your traffic fines paid up to date to prevent fines from escalating to become warrants / enforcement orders hence blocking your car licence renewal or leading to arrest and or imprisonment.
Always clear all your fines timeously including summonses / warrants and courtesy letters to save on incurring further costs or trouble if stopped or at a road block !!
Pay fines in summons / enforcement or warrant status urgently to avoid arrest and or having your vehicle licence suspended.
FINES SA traffic fine portal rated #1 by GOOGLE
AARTO (JHB and TSHWANE ONLY) A 50% discount is offered if the fine is paid within 32 days of the infringement. Thereafter a R60 fee is added to the original infringement amount for a courtesy letter. After a further 32 days the fine status will escalate to an enforcement order and a further R60 fee is added to the fine amount if unpaid resulting in an admin block on the traffic system until the fine/s are paid up in full.
For more information go to AARTO. Ed: Link goes to another Fines SA site.
DISCLAIMER: The traffic fines contained in this statement have been validated from the live systems at a point in time and are subject to change. Please ignore if you have already paid. If the fine amount changes since the validation date then the fines cannot be closed and you will receive an updated statement for the pro rata payment in order for us to settle these fines.

Too much to read. The US style dates are a give away already that it is fake.
 
I have been receiving traffic fine notifications from Ekhurleni Police for months. According to them I own a GP-registered Nissan and drove at 160km/hr on a road on the East Rand. R21 FREEWAY SOUTH BY R23 Road bridge

No idea whether its a fake or not, I am unable to look up the GP registration number (apparently due to POPI act)

And btw: I live in Cape Town and was last in Gauteng in 2006

I decided to check PayMyFines and where I live PayCity, to see what fines I had as well as FinesSA, I could cross reference a lot of them, and once I paid on PayMyFines they were removed from FinesSA. I mean your mail is very possibly a scam, but maybe try to check on PayMyFines as well?

FYI this is a TLDR comment, so you might have done this already.
