Adidas fans hit by phishing scam

A fake Adidas campaign promising free shoes became popular through WhatsApp. Users were promised free sneakers in exchange for $1 to claim them, but all they were left with a recurring $50-per-month subscription fee. Through the scam, hackers got access to users payments and contact details. The scam was based on the IP address and targeted mobile devices in Norway, Sweden, Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Macau, U.S., Netherlands, Belgium and India. Users had no way to confirm that the share actually went through.”]
