Alert for a fraud in the name Coca-Cola, where they steal 40 Euros every 15 days

Alert about a new scam that cybercriminals use to gain access to the bank accounts of people who bite. The Internet Security Office has issued an alert to alert citizens.

This campaign involves sending fake messages via WhatsApp to impersonate Coca-Cola. According to the Internet Security Office, the goal is to redirect the victim (phishing), using the excuse that they are receiving gifts to celebrate the company's 130th Anniversary.

The website requires personal data from the user to purchase a card for EUR500 to fuel at Shell stations. However, the subscription for EUR43.50 euros per 14 days is hidden.

Although the fraudulent message circulates via WhatsApp's instant messaging app, it is possible to find it on other social media sites. The advertisement appears to be from Coca-Cola. It promotes 130th-anniversary gifts and includes a link to where they can be purchased.

Anyone who saw the message and clicked the link to submit their personal information in the form at the fraudulent site.

Follow our suggestions to avoid falling for phishing scams.

Advertisements and message chains that promise incredible offers should not be trusted. Always read the fine print.

-Keep your operating system, software and applications up to date. You must ensure that your antivirus is activated.

-Use common sense and consult the service or company involved directly if in doubt. INCIBE.

These tips are also important:

Instead of using links in email or text messages to reach the web via third-party sites, you can type the URL directly into the browser.

Do not give out your phone number, name, surname or address, or bank details, on any page. To prevent any misuse of your data, make sure you read the legal text on the internet.

Online promotions that ask for personal or banking information should not be trusted

-If you want to access a service through your application, make sure that the application is legitimate and that the permissions are sufficient.
