Dubious messages from various contacts are once again being spread via WhatsApp. Apparently there is a 200 EUR voucher from Spar up for grabs right now.
Note: The message or this promotion was not sent or initiated by SPAR. Data traders are hiding behind this scam .
And once again an alleged “savings voucher” fake is spreading massively on WhatsApp and thousands of users are falling for it. The reason for this is that as a participant you “have to” inform at least 15 of your contacts about it. It's this WhatsApp message!
The content of the message as wording:
Take a look: http://sparɡustcheine.com/jahrstag .200€ voucher from Spar. They are celebrating their anniversary. I think it's a limited offer. I already got mine.
As soon as you tap on the link in the message, the following page opens on your smartphone and the user first has to answer various questions.
Once he has done this, he will be asked to invite 15 WhatsApp friends. This step means the message is being shared like crazy at the moment.
Once he has done this, the user is redirected to a competition form. Here he will be asked to enter his data so that he can take part in a competition.
DATA TRADERS!
What most people don't realize here is that it's about YOUR DATA. In other words, your own data is fed into a database and the respective participant can then access a number of ADVERTISING EMAILS, ADVERTISING CALLS and much more. "be happy".
But not only that!
In most cases, such user data is also resold. Such a data set can then earn the seller a few euros.
… data collector and lead generator
We have often found EXACTLY THIS method, just with other vouchers as bait. In addition to Proleagion, other lead generators also collect data using the same method - much to the annoyance of the companies used as decoys. So far we have mostly noticed Proleagion, adpublisher, red lemon media GmbH, Lead Spot Media, 7sections GmbH and Planet49.
So these are data collectors!
The user is being promised and led to believe something that is not true at all. The status post gives the user the impression that they could win gift cards or, in other cases, airline tickets, for example, but that is not the case.
KEEP AWAY FROM COMPETITIONS like this! Nobody has anything to give away.
