Heineken scam : be warned!

[2long]

I just got some WhatsApps for what is apparently a scam, so be careful!

 

It's a quiz about Heineken followed by 'forward this 20 friends' and claim your gift.

LOL reminds me of the old chain letters years ago.

Yes mate ill be careful. I wont open any unsolicited whatsapp messages and then pass them on to 20 of my contacts. Why had I never thought of this before? 

  I always knew all my good luck was because i forwarded all those emails in less than 5 minutes after reading.

Thanks for your input, which I understand. However, this particular one was quite clever, and caught a lot of people out due its timing (Fathers Day), appearance, and the fact it went through WhatsApp, not email. It was far more believable than all the others.

And all I was doing was try to help.

I wouldn't recommend that yellow water to anybody and definitely not to my friends.

The only ones worse than those scammer are the ones who forward chain letters to their "friends"...
