Scam: Fake Promotion Sites Spread via WhatsApp/ Instagram (IG)
The scam works relatively simple. Send messages to WhatsApp/ IG users with a link that redirects them to a fake website which normally shows “Take 1 minute survey to get a HKD500 Voucher” from well-known brands.  To benefit from the deal and lack of risk awareness, the users complete the fake questionnaire resulting in leakage of personal data or download Malware.
 
How to Distinguish a REAL Advertising Promotion?
Pay extra attention on URLs of promotion websites.
• Domain name of company or brand name will be shown precisely.
Example: Real promotion URL will show wellcome.com.hk instead of wellcome.sweep-promos.com.
• For the promotion purpose, the URL may have "promotions" wordings instead of “swinklr” as below case.
• Before inputting any personal data, ensure the website page has data encryption protection (i.e. SSL Certicate), that means “https” and “green lock” icon displayed in the browser interface.
 
Smart Tip: Don’t be greedy.
