Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The fake "Google Empowerment Program" email below is a scam. Therefore, recipients are asked not to follow the instructions in it. The fake email is being sent by online scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money and personal information for a program that does not exist. If the victims send the money requested by the scammers, they will never receive the grant or prize they were promised. The scammers will just take their money and disappear.
