What is behind this message?
The following message is about:
“I am Mäxchen Open this once” – followed by a link. Although the sender's name appears here, this has a touch of a chain letter, so many users are unsure whether they should actually click on the link.
But if you open the link, you will be taken to a page where you will be asked to click again. If you dare to do it again, you will be directed to the following page:
A Christmas greeting, colorful and animated, with a countdown that probably counts until midnight on December 25th, 2020.
So Christmas greetings. Nothing else.
You can also enter your own name below, after clicking on “See” you will receive a preview of your own Christmas greeting, which you can then share via WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.
If you do this, the name you entered will also be used in the message. The recipient then receives a message with the self-entered name “I am XY ” and also a link. By the way, this can vary, but it always led to the same result after several attempts.
Conclusion
You probably have to decide for yourself whether you want to use this “service” to send your Christmas greetings.
However, you should be aware that there may be some recipients who only click on the link in the message with a stomach ache or not at all. Maybe it's better to type your Christmas wishes yourself in the old school way. With that in mind: Merry Christmas to all of you!
