Fake coupons on Facebook

Lost24

Watch out for dynamic Facebook group which offers coupons to the chemist for  the amount of 1000 PLN. 


People who got tempted by the offer of hackers could lose the account on the social media portal, as well as up to several dozen PLN for premium texts (we wrote about them in one of our entries). 


The swindlers use the stolen accounts of your friends and send out the invitations to the group which offers gift coupons to popular drugstores. After clicking the link, we are moved to the website which enables hackers to steal our Facebook login name and password. 

What's more, to choose the specific offer we have to send two premium texts. 


Additionally, to authenticate the coupons, we can find positive opinions posted by other users of the group. 


If we received the invite to this kind of group which offers coupons or vouchers, we have to select  "block other members from adding you to the group" option.  

If we are victims of this type of fraud,  we have to reset our social media portal password as soon as possible. 

Remember that we can block premium texts at our operator.
