Casino Payout Confirmation Scam
Victims receive an email or message claiming that their casino winnings or payout request has been confirmed. The message uses fake verification details and official-looking logos to appear legitimate, luring the victim into clicking a link to a fraudulent casino site or handing over sensitive information. The goal is to steal money, credit card details, or encourage further gambling deposits that can never be withdrawn.
Share-to-Unlock Prize Scam
A fake prize page uses a familiar brand name and promises a gift, but says you must share the page with several groups or friends before you can continue. The page may then send the people you contact to other unfamiliar domains. This pressure tactic is designed to spread the scam and can lead to requests for personal or payment information.
