Email, SMS and WhatsApp scams are becoming more and more numerous and there is one that is recurrent because it usually works.

When you receive an unexpected message by any means informing you that you have gotten something for free… You have to distrust. It is becoming easier to send mass messages with scams of all kinds and this is reflected in our inboxes. Almost no one avoids that from time to time one arrives.
Among the scams that are spreading the most in recent times are the messages that warn of undelivered packages from courier companies, those that arrive through Bizum or the recurring ones with the Nespresso coffee machine.
Already in 2020 we reported on the free Nespresso coffee machine that you have supposedly won and that you are notified about by WhatsApp, which of course is a lie. The problem is that it is still active.

The message with which they try to deceive the possible victim has different formulas, but in general the same structure is maintained. On Seville Journal report that it is spreading now with the text “Promotion: Respond and win a Nespresso coffee machine”.
Despite its different variants, it is always the same: a coffee maker is guaranteed in exchange for participating in a surveywithout any draw.
Once the link is clicked, they request that answer three very simple questions and then to win the coffee pot you have to share the promotion with 30 WhatsApp contacts. As soon as you do, the app tries to install malware on your device so that you start receiving notifications and advertisements.
As we previously reported, the deception does not end here. At the moment you receive a promotion with another prize in which you have to respond to two questions to win a laptop, and send an SMS to confirm. But if “the user takes the last step of this new survey, he will subscribe his number to several international premium SMS that will charge him for the subscription.”
Therefore, if you receive any communication similar to this, be very careful. Normally it’s a scam that can damage your device, steal private information or subscribe to paid services.
