“Congratulations! You won!”
Free gifts, special offers, and online giveaways can look tempting, especially when they come from a familiar brand. But sometimes the real prize is your personal information.
A fake promotion may ask for your name, phone number, email address, credit card details, or even a small payment to receive your “gift.” Once you provide the information, it can be used for scams, phishing, or identity theft.
⚠️ Before claiming a prize, check where the offer came from and look carefully at the website address.
🔒 An anti-phishing app can help identify fake websites and warn you before you enter your personal information.
🎁 If something looks too good to be true, take a moment before you click.
