I have never received online prizes from all existing social media, the prizes they offer are mostly fake, they only encourage their followers to grow and appear active,
but I don't know if anyone really gets the prizes offered. I think I'm the type of person who is unlucky in the lottery
Scammers mostly used online social media giveaway offers to steal their target's personal information and use it to swindle their money. Some even go as far as impersonating well known celebrities and cloning their social media accounts just to make the whole thing real and believable, and quite funny enough, people actually fall for those cheap scams and lose their valuable information and even fund to scammers all in the name of trying to win online giveaways.
You are correct mate. Scammers can be very trickish and can offer mouth watering give away that would be too tempting to avoid. For that of impersonation, I can say for sure that is what they do. They are always ahead to see how they can swindle money out of someone through any means available.
There have been a case on the other platform where a scammer impersonated a particular bounty manager to scam members of the managers community but it was a smart one for a member to detect and contact the manager and discovered the other was a clone, an impersonator and that was how that Scammer was exposed and reported and the handle blocked.
Most times, people fall for scam as a result of their greed nothing much. Greed is a major factor that leads to falling for scam. When an individual wants it all alone and would fail to consult other parties to verify just for the mentality that they would join them to take it all. With that mentality,btheu would want to be the first to claim it and that is how they get scammed.
