Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Online users, be aware of the "The Beate Warholm Donation" scam like the one below. The scam is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money. The Walton family is an American family whose collective fortune makes them the richest family in the United States and among the richest in the world. The majority of their wealth derives from the heritage of Bud and Sam Walton, who were the co-founders of the world's largest retailer, Walmart.
Remember, never send money or personal information if you are asked to do so in order to receive a donation or lottery prize. This is how scammers steal their potential victims' information, and how they steal their victims' money.
