Online Scams: Don’t Fall for Free iPhone 17 Offers

Fraudsters are using fake lotteries and offers of free iPhones to deceive people. To claim their prize, users are asked to complete surveys and provide their email addresses, phone numbers, and even pay for delivery charges. These fraudulent sites often feature a fake feedback section with purported winners. To protect yourself from these scams, it is crucial to make purchases only from Apple’s official website, and always verify the URL before making any transaction, paying close attention to spelling errors. Furthermore, only buy phones from authorized dealers or retailers. Be wary of enticing offers received via email, text messages, or social media, and avoid clicking on any unfamiliar links without thinking. Clicking on unknown links can lead to the emptying of your bank account.
