Did you receive a random link rediroff[.]ru via WhatsApp? Don’t click on it!
We’ve seen Amazon anniversary scams and giveaway scams before, and now a new Christmas version has been circulating via WhatsApp:
The link is a phishing link, leading to a fake Amazon survey page. After you fill it out, you are asked to share the link to your WhatsApp contacts and submit personal information. (Don’t do it!) Scammers will then record the credentials and use them for identity thefts!
