At the moment a number of users are receiving an SMS. Apparently you were lucky and won 500 EUR at EDEKA. The user just has to click and the main prize is waiting for the user. But be careful! This is what this SMS is about at the moment.
If a user follows the link, this website opens.
So no main prize after all.
The user must first enter their winning details!
The organizer of the competition is United Customer Service GmbH, which we have already reported on at mimikama. But you can also find a number of entries on Google like the one from OTZ
So these are data collectors!
The user is promised something here and is led to believe that it is not true. The SMS gives the user the impression that he has won a 500 EUR voucher from REWE. But that is NOT the case.
If the user clicks on the link, he or she will be redirected to a COMPETITION. Here he must (can) enter his data such as first name, last name and email address.
The user also confirms the conditions which are as follows:
If you win, I can be contacted using the address details provided above. And United Customer Service GmbH as well as its sponsors and named partners will receive my information for market research, for target group and customer profile analyses, as well as for advertising offers that meet my recognizable interests, from different industries and organizations (e.g. non-profit organizations) by email, Use telephone, SMS and letter. For this purpose, United Customer Service GmbH may pass on my information to sponsors and partners who are named and whose questions I provide information on. These companies may also send me free product samples. I can also take part without consent by sending a postcard with the keyword 'participation'. I can revoke my consent at any time.
In other words, the user will be bombarded with even more spam emails and spam SMSes.
It is not possible to say at this point what will happen to your data, but in our experience, it is often sold to other companies!
