As you know, ‘Black Friday’ is approaching, which causes the field battles that consumers carry out every year in the style of ‘everyone against each other’. Of course, since these discounts do not happen only in physical stores, such scenes do not necessarily occur. However, different problems arise in the digital environment.
There are about 2 weeks to the discounts known as ‘Black Friday’ around the world. However, scammers have already started to deceive people under the name of these discounts. The tools they use are fake Amazon gift cards issued with malware and game consoles that are actually sold at unbelievable prices.
Target crypto wallet codes and credit card information
The arrival of Black Friday has also brought blessings to the business of cybercriminals. Realizing that consumers can go a little too far and be careless during this period, scammers have already started to generate revenue by spreading software that creates free Amazon gift cards. It’s pretty cunning, how you say it: While the eager consumer uses the software in hopes of getting a free gift code, the other party accesses the duplicated pending crypto wallet addresses. The person who is defrauded by the fact that the gift codes are not real is also theft.
Another trap that scammers have started to use this period is console advertisements such as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S, which are mouth-watering with their prices. Of course, there are no discounts as seen in the advertisements. Because it is not possible to sell such new consoles at no price, even on November 26, the actual Black Friday. However, some people somehow click on these ads and fall into the phishing trap of the fraudster as soon as they enter the link. Thus, important information such as credit card number can fall into the hands of fraudsters.
