Be Careful What You Repost
Everyone loves getting their hands on something for free, especially if it’s a new car, a new house, or a five-star luxury vacation. There are endless giveaways on social media, promising to enter you for a chance to win if you like, comment, and share the post, so you figure “why not?” and tap the share button. What’s the harm?
While there are legit giveaways once in a blue moon, most of the offers you see in your feed are too good to be true. The offers are often phishing scams, designed to extract personal information that could be used for malicious purposes. If you’re still itching to take your chances on a giveaway, make sure it’s coming from the official account of the brand associated with the prize.
