'Win SAMSUNG GALAXY S22' Pop-Up Scam

The 'Win SAMSUNG GALAXY S22' pop-up scam falls into the category of phishing schemes. It tries to obtain various private information from its visitors, by promising them a chance to win an expensive reward - a SAMSUNG GALAXY S22 smartphone. Of course, the mentioned prize is non-existent and users will receive absolutely nothing in return.

The information that the operators of this particular tactic wish to collect from their victims consists of names, surnames, birthdates, gender/sex, email addresses, home addresses and phone numbers. By entering the requested data, users will supposedly have the chance to win the described reward.

However, the fraudsters will simply harvest all provided information and exploit it for their personal goals. They can use the data to expand their reach by compromising any accounts belonging to a specific user. Alternatively, they could package all of the information and offer it for sale to third parties. In addition, the con artists also may try to trick users into paying bogus 'shipping' fees and making other monetary transactions.
