A nice coupon in the mailbox? Beware, warns mimikama.at - an international coordination office to fight against Internet abuse. Because not only the spelling is lazy with this fraudulent Aldi voucher. Already at the 125th birthday of the attentive Aldi buyer should be suspicious. The company was founded in 1945.
Anyone who follows the link will be on an unknown page directed. There, two questions must first be answered. In addition, the link must be sent to 15 Facebook friends. Thus, the alleged coupon spreads further through the network.
Who exactly the site operates, is not clear. Often the providers change behind the links quickly. Their goal is to collect data from Facebook users and sell them.
Of course, anyone who has tapped into the data trap will not receive a voucher, but will have lots of spam emails. An imprudent user completes such unwanted subscriptions or reveals more data.
