For some time now editorial team of Niebiezpiecznik has received worrying  signals about an OLX scam in which users are tempted with discount codes.


Victims receive information from the seller that in order to increase the security of the transaction the purchase needs to be carried out through the online store. At this point scammers provides victims with a website address along with a discount code.


Of course online store hosted at Pinamo.pl is fake and according to Niebezpiecznik the account to which victims transfers money is either a money mule’s account or is tied to some sort of cryptocurrency exchange.
Victims baited by an additional discount that decide to purchase through the said online store they will lose their money and won’t receive their goods.
