Giveaway Scams

Giveaway Scams are gaining popularity on social media, where many influencers do actually hold giveaways. Scammers impersonate influencers and celebrities to trick users on social media platforms into believing that they have been chosen to receive a prize as part of a giveaway. This quick turns into an Advance Fee Scam as the scammer will ask for fees to be paid in order for the victim to receive the non-existent prizes.
