Did you also receive a text message saying “AMAZON congratulates: Your 500 EUR voucher for your free purchase at AMAZON is waiting.” Then be careful!
What happens when you type/click?
You will be redirected to these pages. The recipient has not won 500EUR, but MUST FIRST take part in a COMPETITION.
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 Amazon. 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 would probably be bombarded with even more spam emails and spam text messages. 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!
