Google Award Grants 2019 is a Fake

Google Award Grants 2019 is a Fake

The "Google Award Grants 2019" email message below is a scam. There is no such grant and the fake email message is being sent by scammers, to trick the recipients into sending them their personal information and money, by falsely claiming that they are recipients of the Google Foundation Grant Award. Remember, Google will never ask you to send your personal information via email messages or ask you to send money in order to receive a grant.

This type of scam will ask you to send your personal information and subsequently ask you to send money in order to receive your so-called grant. But, once the scammers receive your money, they will disappear leaving you disappointed.

I have received just last week telling me I have won a Google ad-----award on my Mobile number it seems it is in Dollars, 1Million 400thousand and something Dollars, Enough really to make you suspicious even before you`ve changed it to GBP. But Google it cant be, surely I would never get a thing like this from Google?, But, Yes its a Fake, I`m elderly and its upsetting,-- even more so If you get caught out. I`ve been fortunate that I realised so be careful.
