We warn: Don’t click any unknown links in WhatsApp messages or SMS. You don’t know beforehand where these links will take you. In the worst case, your smartphone can be damaged.
After clicking on the link in the chain letter you will be taken to a fake website that gives the impression that you are on an Edeka page. The grocer’s logo is used very prominently.
As we know from other fraudulent chain letters with shopping vouchers, you should first answer a few more or less irrelevant questions. This will put you in a click mood.
Once you have answered the questions, you get to the next step. Now your task is to spread the word. By sharing the spam message, the message becomes a chain letter that spreads like wildfire on its own.
Before you receive your shopping voucher for Edeka worth 125 euros, you have to share the campaign with 20 WhatsApp contacts or 5 groups. This is not just where your friend was when he sent you the message. No, at this point you lure friends and acquaintances into the trap and ensure that the fake action spreads. Many users do not recognize the fraud because they hope that they will really get a shopping voucher afterwards. This is actually promised, but there are no shopping vouchers.
