Scammers are now using the name of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to trick online users into sending them their information. The scam (see email below) states that president Donald Trump has a check draft worth $1,000,000 from the government of Benin Republic that must be delivered to the home address of the recipients. And, the recipients (so-called beneficiary) need to submit their personal information in order to receive their so-called check.
Please continue below.
But, if the recipients submit their information, it will only be sent to the scammers behind the phishing email message, who will attempt to trick them into sending them money for their so-called check. And, if the recipients send their money, the scammers will take it and disappear. Therefore, recipients of the same phishing email message are asked to delete the email message and not to follow the instructions in it.
