I can’t quite remember the exact wording but it indicated that I would be eligible for the WFA but I hadn’t applied yet.
One does not have to apply!
Thank goodness I had seen a previous warning.

Certainly looks like a scam. Awful people who try to defraud us.

I got one of these today. It was part of a "group chat" which I blocked immediately.
