Exclusive: Scammers using fake WHO Bitcoin wallet to steal donation

If there’s one thing we have learned from Coronavirus or Covid19 pandemic is that cybercriminals seek to turn every disaster into an opportunity to make quick bucks. Last week, it was reported that scammers have been selling non-existing ventilators along with fake Coronavirus vaccines and testing kits.


Now, Hackread.com has learned that scammers are disguising as representatives from the World Health Organization (WHO) to scam unsuspecting users into giving away money in name of donation to the organization. 


To do so, scammers are sending emails to individuals asking them to use “Bitcoin Network” and donate to their wallet address. A preview of the email is available below:


We are all affected by the growing COVID-19 pandemic. It’s an unprecedented health challenge and we know people and organizations everywhere want to help. The world health organization is leading and coordinating the global effort, supporting countries to prevent, detect, and respond to the pandemic.


The greatest need right now is to help ensure all countries are prepared, especially those with the weakest health systems.


Donations support WHO’s work to track and understand the spread of the virus to ensure patients get the care they need and front-line workers get essential supplies, information and to accelerate efforts to develop vaccines, tests, and treatments.


Now you can help us by donating any amount you want with the help of Bitcoin Network.
