The chosen ones, according to this supposed offer, will receive a set of free clothes, but not picos.It is a false offer and a phishing case, a modality of cyber scam.
Primark's free setting assumptions: a survey that tries to obtain your personal data
The alleged Primark message is shared on a web page on which an image of a Primark store appears.On it there is a white box with the following prominent phrase: "Get your free Primark set!".
Under this the false offer is shared."The Primark store starts a contest.We start with a raffle with 300 Primark sets.Everyone can win in this contest.Participate, please, in our brief survey, answering three questions.Your answers help us improve the quality of customer service in our stores.As gratitude, you can choose a Primark set for free, ”says the text.
At the end of the web three questions are asked: if the interested person buys in Primark, if he is satisfied with prices and if I would recommend products.Once answered, the alleged prize arrives, but first we must facilitate a series of personal data such as full name, email and date of birth.
Then request the telephone number and user address.Once this data is completed, the page reports that an email has been sent from the RAQUEL@tu-confirmation address.com -which does not even contain the name Primark- with a link in which you must click to achieve the prize.
The photographs that appear on the final page belong to an image bank
The photographs of alleged Primark customers that appear on the final page once the survey has been completed and that tell their experience with the brand are not real consumers.
An reverse Google search allows you to see that the same woman appears on a page of a dental clinic, in a language academy or in an advertisement of a medication for gastritis.
The same goes for the image of man, which appears in articles and ads on the care of the beard and a colony.
The official page of the brand is Primark.com
On the other hand, the page that has been viralized is not the official Primark website (which can be found in the www address.Primark.com) Nor is any relationship with the company.
In March 2021, the company shared on its Twitter account a message in which it warned of scams in which a supplantation of its identity was used.“They have informed us of false accounts that offer primark gifts.We confirm that we have no connection with these accounts and we are working to eliminate them.Our official accounts have a blue verification mark next to them and we would never ask for personal information in this way, ”says the statement.
How to avoid ‘phishing’
Remember that phishing is a scam that we can generally suffer through text messages, emails and fraudulent calls in which criminals try to do illegally with our personal data, passwords or access our bank accounts.
