It has sent out an alert about a Fake Facebook Profile Purporting to Belong to Grenada’s Governor General, Dame Cécile La Grenade.
The account, Ceciliagrenade000, is currently being used to phish unsuspecting Facebookers while seeking to give legitimacy to a grant scam.

CSIRT is warning the public about sharing personal information online without first verifying the entity requesting same and being very cautious about sending money to people they do not know and have not verified.
