Facebook & WhatsApp Users-Beware Of Fraud Offers On Internet..!

Today I am sharing the very important article which will protect you & your loved ones to becoming victims of online scams & frauds.

If you are using the internet then you must read this article because this is for everyone who use internet services or applications.

Recently maybe you have seen many offers are going on the internet and sometime your friends also shared some offer links on social media and most of time people used to click on the links because those are shared by known person and they become a victim of black internet marketing or scam.

What are Fraud Offers on the internet?

Offering services or product at very cheap price or free by big brand name.

Recently I have seen people reported & Shared scams like a Job offer from Spice jet airline.

As you can see some particular things in this offer letter and email that scammers are using a genuine company address and using the same name, likeSpicejet actual brand have but there is a minor difference if you notice they have Spicejet.org and Genuine Spicejet website have Spicejet.com (Source Google.com)

If you are using WhatsApp application, then there is 90% chance that you have already received this below message on your WhatsApp chat stating that Flipkart is giving Moto G Plus (Black, 32GB) for Rs599 Only.

I know many people clicked as soon as possible to claim that offer, but did you noticed that offer URL(link) its http://flipkart.dhamaka-offers.com which is fake and genuine Flipkart website link is www.flipkart.com and whatever the offer will be sent to a customer that will show after flipkart.com and most important point is all E-commerce websites have an SSL certificate which you can verify by their url as https://www.flipkart.com have “https” which mean it is secured site.

Here is the latest and ongoing scam by some Facebook page managers.

Facebook online scam claims that Air India offering 2 free air tickets on its 30th anniversary, however I have confirmed from Air India for the authentication of this message and then I have started my investigation and found very interesting facts.

when you click on this site it will ask some questions to gain your faith and then it will give three options

You have to share the same message as you have seen.

You have to like facebook community which name is Beautiful Thoughts.

Finally you have to send this scam message to someone through messenger which mean they are involving you too in their SCAM without your any intention to do that but yes by simply sharing on your wall and sending through messenger you are making this SCAM big.

How to stop this kind of scam ?

It is very simple to stop this kind of SCAM’s . whenever you recieved any kind of E-commerce offer on your devices just Google about that offer, Call on company customer care number and if you found anything suspicious then you can also report it to Google Phishing department by click on this link https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/
