The issue isn't how much risk there is in opening it. The problem is that regardless of how much or little risk there is in opening the link, it wasn't op's job to examine it. It was unnecessary risk to open the link.

Having used the IPass online payment system multiple times, it sounds like you did not read warnings on the website.

On the online website, it says the search feature does not show the violations immediately and you should not rely on it.

     "The optimal timeframe for a successful search is the second and third weeks following the missed toll. Many missed tolls will not appear until one week after they were incurred due to the need to review the images of the license plate."

 Instead you should select the tolls you missed manually and then paying them. I have done this numerous time, noting the toll and time I missed and have never received a violation after I paid it online. 
I have also used the search feature one week after I missed the toll and all of my missed tolls appeared.

It's unfortunate that you had to pay a fine but you shouldn't blame the state for your errors.

I mentioned this is another comment but

If you read the UK Government report that is not what happened. The plane was at 1500 ft when it began to descend. At 1300 ft the warning sounds activated and the pilot reacted but it took another 300 ft of descent before the pilot was able to fully recover from the descent.

The commander stated that to save time before pushback he had set the autopilot Flight Director (FD) modes to Go‑Around (ga), Heading (hdg) and Altitude Select (alt sel) but without first setting a selected altitude.

Sounds like they were waiting on the ground and had time.
