SAMSUNG SCAM. $800,000 Random Give-aways. Anyone familiar with this? Legitimate?

[Sarisha]

A friend of mine recently received a random direct message asking him why he had not yet picked up his prize❓️He had previously been selected by 'Samsung Promotional...' or something or other, to WIN🥳$800,000 just to basically better himself and the world around him - "just because." And it's Samsung so we should "trust the process" ℹ️🤔

My friend really wants it to be legit and why wouldn't he! We all know we have felt that ourselves, for those few seconds in our imaginations, spending & donating our money so wisely🫡 at peace with the world, as you do. Anyway🙄 has anyone here seen or heard of this before? Has anyone else also won lots of money, courtesy of having a Facebook account? 😆

I checked out one or two and must say their pictures do look well done 🧐🤦🏽‍♀️ Quite possibly the best scam I've seen so far, I mean to look at, on the surface, its presentation. 😌

Thanks in advance 👌🏽

Thanks for replying

Yes, sadly this rubbish comes and goes frequently, I don't use FB, but get them from time to time on the gram.

Just ignore and block.

I agree with you. Yes, I get a lot
....well, maybe not a ridiculous amount, but thankfully, I am quite versed now in spotting scams.

Lol, do you know what I like to do & have been doing for some years now, on and off? I like to play with the scammers 😆 e.g. pretend to be interested, play along for a bit. Always changing the subject and telling them crazy stories. Haha, it's fun. And then finally, inform them that I'm aware this is a scam & because of that, that they make me feel sick and that they should get a real job etc.
Yeah, it's somewhat entertaining.

Scam emails like,
"Congratulations, you have won
1 billion US dollars. Click here to claim your prize! " Oh, sorry, I forgot the spelling mistakes ☺️
I often reply to these emails something like..."Piss Off" or maybe some sarcasm.
Depends how I'm feeling.

Have a good day🙋🏽‍♀️

🤣🤣 this is awesome. I do it with sms scams almost daily then my last reply back isn't very polite lol

[Juannie]

Dodgy as hell lol. All you have to do is check the grammar as Samsung being an international company would have made sure their marketing is perfect, this is bad lol. Its not that good, I've had scams that are better and very difficult to see if they're real or not unless you've got a good eye for this stuff.
