Oh no, it was this (exact) one. I was completely off by an order of magnitude, and should probably edit my original comment... Apologies.

What happened, then: I also visited this page, and got this ad. I thought "What the actual fuck?", clicked on it, it took me to the linked page. Presumably the same one you got...

I then went to try and share the image in a post, here. But my phone immediately crashed, taking the screenshots, and the linked page, with it...

So I tried searching for it, and got nothing, except other vague threats of fines and jail time, for various "covid-y" things related to the border, presumably from the same agency. Followed the link again - it wouldn't give me this same ad, the next time.

Then I wrote my comment. Just from memory. I probably shouldn't have quoted it, going off my memory of something I had seen 15-20 minutes earlier, before my phone crashed...

Where the extra digit came in was obviously from my misremembering other fines I had seen, and having incorrectly seen the little A there (for AUD) as an extra number... :-/

It was only after I wrote that, that I was able to reload the page again, get the correct ad, and realise I was wrong.

So... After that very complicated explanation: tl;dr, I accidentally misquoted the figure, by an order of magnitude. Whoops. But you're completely correct, here.

This, here, people, is what happens when you don't sleep properly (unintentionally), and then have way, way too much caffeine...

Oops. :-/
