SCAM OF THE WEEK: Wildfire Relief Fraud Alert!

In the wake of devastating wildfires in California, thousands of people have lost their homes, and billions of dollars in damages have been reported. While communities are rallying to rebuild, cybercriminals are preying on victims in their most vulnerable moments—posing as federal officers offering financial aid.

How This Scam Works

Scammers reach out via email, phone, or even in person, claiming they can help you receive grant money to rebuild your property. But here’s the catch:

  • They demand an "application fee" or payment to process your relief grant.

  • They ask for personal information like your Social Security number and home address—setting you up for identity theft.

  • Once you send them money or give away your personal details, they disappear—leaving you with no aid and a stolen identity.

WSUS has been a key tool in ensuring updates are deployed smoothly and strategically within enterprise environments. The ability to control and automate updates has saved IT departments countless hours and headaches—until now.

Protect Yourself from Disaster Scams
  • Never pay upfront fees for disaster aid. Legitimate federal agencies will NOT ask you to pay money to receive relief funds.

  • Verify official sources. If you’re looking for disaster relief, visit official government websites like FEMA.gov rather than trusting unsolicited emails or calls.

  • Guard your personal information. No real agency will ask for Social Security numbers, banking details, or other sensitive info over the phone or email.

If you or someone you know has been targeted by this scam, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ReportFraud.ftc.gov or contact local authorities.

Stay safe, stay informed, and don’t let scammers profit from disaster!
