Scams with Shell Gift Certificates:

Emails that promise to win or gift cards are something that many of us have to live.

In very many cases, it is a pure scam. Those who stand behind are completely different than sharing good gifts. But, unfortunately, some are unlucky.

One of the companies that has been exposed to this problem is St1, which runs Shell service stations in Norway. They have previously warned that they are in no way behind e-mails, which indicates to the recipients
that they have won gift cards with gasoline.

– Do not click on the links

Now, it may seem that these emails abound again. We, at Broom, have been contacted by individuals who have received fraudulent mail in their inbox:

– Unfortunately, our brand is used for fraudulent attempts, which we take seriously. If customers receive such emails, we ask them to delete them immediately. Do not click on the links contained in these emails and do not provide any personal information.

– Emails like this are scams. We send only newsletters through known channels such as Trumf and Shortcut to Shell. If customers receive such emails, please contact us so that we can inform other customers on our facebook page.
Nina Røsland, Head of Loyalty and Digital Development at St1 Norge AS, says Shell in Norway.

Warns against the "lure-stamp" that is sold online

Will be transmitted

This is the message in the email:

You are 1 in 10 people who won a gasoline gift card in November! You can use the gift card on fuel, food and services at Shell stations in Europe.

Below you will find four e-mail addresses, including the recipient. At the bottom of the e-mail is a big clickable link bearing the inscription "Fuel Gift Card Here".

You should not click on that!

A common procedure is to send users to a website, where you can answer some questions. Often, the goal is to obtain bank account numbers or other personal information.

Theft of identity

By the way, this is not the first time drivers have been trying to cheat this way. In the past, Tesla and Mercedes have both been mistreated in fictitious contests, where the main prize was to win brand new cars. This was not the case and
The two "competitions" were closed after a relatively short period.

False competitions on Facebook are also not up to date. At best, users are only fooled, at worst, it can be acts of identity theft. You may also be bombarded with advertisements and post reports. In English, it's called
the phenomenon of "likes agriculture".
