Trump Accounts Scam - How to Protect Yourself

Scammers are exploiting the government's rollout of children's Trump Accounts by sending phishing emails and texts. Fraudsters are asking for "processing fees" to unlock the funds or requesting sensitive personal information (like Social Security numbers) to allegedly speed up enrollment.

To protect yourself and avoid falling victim to fraud, keep the following security protocols in mind:

  • Official Channels Only: The U.S. Treasury will never contact you via text message or phone call regarding account activation.
  • Email Guidelines: Legitimate government communications about account activation will come exclusively from the email address no-reply@TrumpAccounts.Treasury.gov.
  • Website Verification: Always access your child’s account by visiting TrumpAccounts.gov directly, rather than clicking links in emails or messages.
  • Customer Support: Official support is only available through secure, in-app requests or online callback requests. Never use phone numbers found through random internet search results.

For the latest verified details on the program, refer to the official U.S. Treasury announcements.
