In a post published on Facebook, which uses a photo with the logo of the “Viva Fresh Store” supermarket chain, it is claimed that this company is giving away vouchers worth 300 euros. To participate in this reward, users are asked to click a link and provide their personal data.
The claim was published yesterday (June 6) by a Facebook page called "Weekly Wow Promo".
The truth?
After a research conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the Facebook page in question has no connection to the company "Viva Fresh Store", while the published link (domain) turns out to be suspicious.
The “Weekly Wow Promo” Facebook page has only 73 followers and contains no other posts, except for the photos placed on the profile and cover. (see here)
Meanwhile, the website presented in this post "grabwinbox.ink", through which the user's data is requested, is suspicious.
Hibrid.info has used website verification platforms, such as “Scam-Detector.com” and “Easydmarc.com”, which have labeled this site as suspicious and with possible “phishing” links. (see here and here)
What is Phishing?
An organization or individual uses "Phishing"('phishing') if it is illegally trying to obtain sensitive personal information from you such as: user ID, password, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, etc.
They will then use the information you provided to access your account for illegal purposes, e.g. commit credit card fraud with the credit card numbers you mistakenly provided to the 'phishing' individual or organization.
Hibrid.info has checked the official Viva Fresh Store Facebook page and found that the company has not published any prize game offering coupons worth 300 euros. (see here)
Analyze:
A Facebook page called "Weekly Wow Promo" published a reward offer on June 6, using the "Viva Fresh Store" logo, claiming to offer coupons worth 300 euros to those who click a link and provide personal information.
However, the website address "grabwinbox.ink" was classified as suspicious by website verification platforms such as Scam-Detector.com and Easydmarc.com as a "phishing" risk.
There is no game or promotion on the official "Viva Fresh Store" Facebook page that offers coupons with this type of value.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this content as "Fraud".
Reasoning:
The “Deception” rating is given to informational content that is manipulated in terms of visual (deepfake, cheapfake), audio, or textual content to deceive the audience. This form of deception is usually used to produce false and manipulated content.
