WHO advises that scammers are contacting people via “email, websites, phone calls, text messages and even fax messages” to steal money or information.

The real WHO will “never ask you to login to view safety information; never email attachments you didn’t ask for; never ask you to visit a link outside of www.who.int; never charge money…, conduct lotteries… [or] ask you to donate directly”.
