Alert These continental SMS are fake

The continent warns of a fraudulent campaign that uses its name to collect personal data from citizens.

In recent days, several people have received an SMS announcing a prize awarded by the brand Sonae.

The continent has already stated, in a statement, that "the message is fraudulent because, in addition to improperly and illegally using the brand name Continent, it seeks to collect personal data of citizens with the promise of a non-existent premium ".

The company advises its customers not to open the content sent by the messages.

In the same statement, the continent assures its customers that "there was no undue access to the data", thus ensuring that the brand's databases are "totally secure".

Due diligence is already underway to investigate "the sources of these malicious initiatives". "Continente's technical support industry believes they have already identified most of the hacker sites identified in this action, after disconnecting them," the brand said.
