The bright red button and language of a denied application are typical of scam communications designed to pressure older supporters who may feel compelled to “fix” the nonexistent issue.

Prior reports have documented comparable schemes that exploit the familiarity of official campaign addresses to lend credibility to fraudulent solicitations.
Responses and Warnings
Campaign officials have not issued a public statement regarding this specific email.

Awareness of such tactics is especially important for supporters who may be less familiar with online security practices.
