All Posts are being cautioned regarding a new email scam whose modus operandi includes targeting overseas Filipinos using the name of the Philippine Embassy or other Philippine representations abroad.

An OFW approached Saipan PCG reporting about the receipt of an email allegedly from Muscat PE informing him that he won a large sum of prize money. In view of this, all Posts are directed to remind the Filipino communities in their respective jurisdictions to be alert against this type of email scam and ascertain such claims from the appropriate authorities before giving out personal information or following the instructions stated in the emails.
