Today I receive an invitation from my friend about receive $100 Starbucks gift card for FREE (Official). In order to get the gift card, you need to invite your friend to join this event. I almost invite all of my friends to this event, but I step back a little bit. I click the link show in step 3 first. I realized that this is a spam more than official.
1. When you click on the page they created, it's almost nothing there. Official page won't be like that.
2. It's too good to be true, just invite 50 friends, you can get $25 Voucher. There's no free lunch.
3. The link will redirect to http://lnkgt.com/8v3 which will ask you to pick up Apple stuff instead of Starbucks and continue.
If you did make the mistake of sharing the scam link, then you are now spamming your friends with the very same message. Clean-up your newsfeed and profile to remove references to the scam. (click the “x” in the top right hand corner of the post).
Be on the lookout for more marketing offers arriving to your email inbox and physical address if you submitted that information to the scammers. Also be aware and alert for possible identity theft attempts.
Giving a gift card is really just a notch above handing over a bunch of cash in an envelope. "Put the gift card inside a proper greeting card and write a personal note: ‘Enjoy the day. You deserve it!'". Make it look pretty by putting a small gift that a packet of chocolate-covered espresso beans with a Starbucks card.so how better to reward your dear ones with get free starbucks gift card so what are you waiting for log on to - www.starbuckscardfree.com and enjoy.
