A new WhatsApp Scam : Amazon's 30th anniversary celebration free gifts!

Awareness is necessity

One of my friend sent a message yesterday asking me to take a survey to claim free gifts as part of Amazon’s 30th Anniversary celebration.

Did you receive this kind of message ?

If yes then beware !!!
It’s a new whatsapp scam. "


Letme inform you first that according to WIKIPEDIA Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in July 1994. Now count the years . It's only 26 years. And here in the title they mentioned a 30th anniversary celebration.

There are several ways to identify the link whether it is original or fake.

When users click on the message, a new window opens saying “Congratulations, you have been chosen to participate in our survey”. Users are asked to answer four questions. After the user submits the answers , Bunch of gift boxes appears on the screen asking user to make a selection. In most cases it is the Huawei Mate 40 pro .

I marked red squares on screenshots , when you try to click on that button or sign-in label , they are unclickable. This is a sign of a phishing/fake page. Then this website asks users to share the quiz with “5 whatsapp groups” and “20 friends”.

Never Do this

You are becoming a part of such a scam unintentionally and spreading it to more people. Providing some personal information on such websites can be dangerous .

When you click on complete registration button, it will redirect you to fake links. Keep in mind while visiting such fake websites that it will redirect you on malicious links and pop-ups and then when we download, its something else. It maybe any worm or any encrypted malware. Some bad people can use such links to spread/install malware in your device.

You can see page redirection fake links in below images.


So the motive behind this article is to spread awareness about this kind of WhatsApp scam. As cybercriminals are becoming very smart day by day, they are using new ideas to make people fool and gather informations.

How I Scored 839/900 on CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 — 2-Month Prep Strategy That Actually Worked Score: 839/900  |  Exam: CompTIA Security+ SY0-701  |  Prep Time: 2 Months  |  Total Questions: 76 (including 3 PBQs) I'm not going to sugarcoat it — CompTIA Security+ is not easy, but it is very passable with the right strategy. I cleared it with an 839 out of 900, and in this post I'll share exactly how I did it, domain by domain, so you can replicate the approach without wasting time. My 2-Month Study Plan Month 1 — Domain-by-domain study: Read, take notes, and build comparison tables and mnemonics for tricky concepts. Month 2 — Heavy practice testing: Full focus on practice tests and PBQ simulations. Time management drills every session. The biggest mistake people make is spending 90% of their time reading and only 10% practicing. I flipped that in month 2 — and it made all the difference. Domain 1 — General Security Concepts What to focu...

Email Security Deep Dive: 13 Steps to Keep Your Emails Safe

Email Security Checklist The Email Security Checklist 1. Enable SPF (Sender Policy Framework) What it is: SPF is like a guest list for your email domain. It tells the world that only specific servers are allowed to send email for your domain. How it works: Publish an SPF record in DNS. When someone receives an email claiming to be from your domain, their mail server checks if the sending IP is listed in the SPF record. If the IP is not listed, the email is rejected or marked as spam. Example SPF record: v=spf1 ip4:203.0.113.0/24 include:_spf.google.com -all Only servers in the specified IP range and Google’s mail servers can send emails for this domain. Others are rejected. Points to Note: Prevents attackers from spoofing your domain and sending phishing or spam emails. 2. Enable DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) What it is: DKIM is a digital signature for each email, ensuring that the message hasn’t been tampered with. Ho...

Awareness is necessity "Nohashtag challenges" Nowadays, #couplechallenge, #smilechallenge, #chirichchallenge trending on social media platforms. But do you know the history of hashtags? Lets see, how hashtag was invented. Chris Messina a product designer who has been working in Silicon Valley created the idea of hashtag. He and his small group of colleagues were thinking that twitter needs some kind of frame work. He got the idea of hashtag from internet chat room that had pound symbol in front of them.
