Anniversary news on the internet:
The hackers took the 27th Anniversary to their advantage and worked aggressively. They circulate fake news on social media stating Amazon is offering free gifts to everyone at this event.
- The website cpcb0y.17clean.net has made such circulars since May 2021, and
- It had 526,000 interactions on overall social media and messaging groups.
- The website, however, mentioned it as their 30th Anniversary in their message.
- Let us look at the message: “Amazon 30th anniversary celebrations-Free gifts for everyone from www.amazon.com”.
- The message had a link to a look-a-like Amazon 27th Anniversary website.
- The users assumed that it was a genuine website.
- Users were offered free gifts like the Huawei Mate 40 Pro 5G for completing a survey.
- The website message said: “Congratulations, you are chosen to participate in the survey. You will receive a fantastic prize:a Huawei-Mate 40 Pro. It will take only a minute.”
- In the survey, users were prompted to answer a few questions to improve the quality of service from Amazon.
- The questions were related to the individual’s age, gender, phone user-owned, and quality of Amazon’sAmazon’s service.
- Once the user completed the Amazon 27th Anniversary survey, nine boxes appeared on the screen, and the user had to choose one box out of those nine boxes.
- The website said that the free gift was inside one of the boxes.
- Once you click on a box, the website congratulates that user as a winner.
- The website DEMANDED that to claim the gift, the user should forward the same message to at least FIVE GROUPS (or) to TWENTY FRIENDS.
NOTE: For official promotional offers and events, you can trust the official Facebook page of Amazon.
How to avoid scams like Amazon 27th Anniversary?
- Check the website you are navigating to is genuine and the website URL is correct. For example, the anniversary message had the Amazon website spelled as amazsocn.
- Many social media apps like WhatsApp will label a message as – FORWARDED MANY TIMES. It means the message is excessively shared by many users with several groups (or) individual users.
- When you get navigated to a link, verify if the URL contains HTTPS and not just HTTP. The S character in the URL stands for secure. In contrast, websites with HTTP are potentially harmful.
Conclusion:
Amazon 27th Anniversary did not announce any such giveaways on their website, Amazon verified channels, nor via official email to users. In July 2021, Amazon had a Prime Day event with exciting discounts, cashback, gifts, and other offers. Amazon is unlikely to give Huawei phones to all its users, and evidently, no one received them.
