Donald Trump has \u00a0not had a heart attack and he has not died.  \u00a0The post is just a callous attempt to draw Internet users to a scam website that disguises itself as a news outlet.<\/p>\n<p>The image of Trump slumped on the floor appears to be a shot from \u00a0a \u00a0<a title=\"'Stone Cold' Still Can't Believe Donald Trump Took a Stunner\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/sports\/news\/stone-cold-still-cant-believe-donald-trump-took-a-stunner-20160331\">2007 Battle of the Billionaires, hair vs. hair &#8220;wrestling match&#8221;<\/a> in which \u00a0Trump briefly \u00a0ended up on the floor of the ring. One of the wrestling ring ropes is \u00a0clearly visible in the image.<\/p>\n<p>If you click the link in the scam post, you will be taken to a &#8220;news&#8221; website that supposedly contains more information and video footage about Trump&#8217;s supposed cardiac arrest and subsequent demise. However, the website will automatically redirect you to one of  \u00a0several \u00a0scam or malware websites.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, you will be taken to a fraudulent \u00a0website that claims that <a title=\"\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your Computer Has Been Blocked\" Tech Support Scam Browser Popups\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/your-computer-has-been-blocked-tech-support-scam-browser-popups\/\">your computer has a virus and you must urgently call a number<\/a> displayed on the screen to get help with the supposed infection.  \u00a0The webpage will lock your browser and display a series of &#8220;tech support&#8221; popups. In fact, there is no virus. This is just a nasty trick to get you to call a bogus tech support hotline staffed by \u00a0scammers. If you call, the scammers will demand that you provide your credit card details to pay for their &#8220;assistance&#8221;. They may also trick you into installing malware that can steal information from your computer.<\/p>\n<p>In other cases, you will be redirected to a page that claims that you must update a browser plugin before \u00a0you can view a &#8220;news video&#8221;. However, the &#8220;plugin&#8221; will actually be  \u00a0malware that can take over your browser, redirect you to further scam websites, and show malicious advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you might end up on a survey scam website that tries to trick you into supplying your personal information, ostensibly to go in the draw for various prizes or offers. But, if you participate, your information will be shared with unscrupulous third-party marketers who will then inundate you with \u00a0unwanted and annoying phone calls, text messages, emails, and surface letters.<\/p>\n<p>Or, the site might redirect you to a rogue Facebook app that, if installed, will \u00a0spam all of your Facebook friends with further scam messages.<\/p>\n<p>Note that there are several versions of the scam messages that may falsely claim to be from different well-known news outlets.<\/p>\n<p>This is just one in a <a title=\"Death Hoaxes\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/death-hoaxes.shtml\">series of celebrity death scam posts<\/a> that have circulated in recent months. If one of these scam death \u00a0reports comes your way, do not click on it.<\/p>\n<p>It is wise to <a title=\"Don't Get Caught by Celebrity Death Hoaxes and Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/guide-to-celebrity-death-hoaxes-scams.shtml\">verify any social media reports claiming that a high profile person has \u00a0died<\/a>. If a famous person does \u00a0die, the news will \u00a0be extensively covered by mainstream news outlets all around the world. So, a quick search on a news portal such as Google News will usually reveal if a circulating death report is true.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: October 6, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: October 6, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
