Can you be fined for not signing insurance vignette?

I received an email warning that you can be fined €180 if you have not signed the insurance sticker attached to the inside of the car window. Is this true?

NO, THIS is an internet hoax. The only legal requirement is to place the vignette sticker in the bottom-right of the windscreen, with the front part visible from outside.
