10 x €200 Rossmann gift vouchers? Unfortunately not, because the competition takes you directly to data collectors and they are only interested in one thing - namely your data!

Fake Facebook page lures people with Rossmann gift vouchers

A status post on the “My Drugstore” Facebook page leads to a fake competition.
In the end, the user ends up with data collectors.

The Facebook page “My Drugstore” offers a 200 euro voucher for Rossmann. To win, all you need to do is answer three questions. But be careful, it is a bait that leads to data collectors.

In this case, the bait is posted directly to a Facebook page. It is not uncommon for users to stumble across sponsored advertising posts that provide bait or discover the fake competitions through the posts of their friends who have already taken part in the supposed competition.

Anyone who follows the link will be taken to a website with a question and answer session. We answer the three questions, and it doesn’t matter which answers we choose – we always “win” in every case. Why? Because this is not about a 200 euro Rossmann voucher, but about our or your personal data!

Without further ado, the website takes us to a data input mask after the survey has been completed.

Your details please

Anyone who enters their data here not only puts it into the hands of the data collectors, but also has to agree to be informed about offers from various sponsors. And by informing we mean a deluge of advertising via email, telephone, push messages and/or post…

We have seen this exact method several times before. Also with other vouchers as a lure. The following companies, among others, kept coming to our attention: Naturvel PTE. LTO, adpublisher, red lemon media GmbH, Lead Spot Media, Proleagion, Spar Advisor Ltd., Planet49, Green Flamingo and others.
