I am sure you have encountered a message similar to this while using the internet. I have. I will give you an example of one of my experiences with such a scam: One day I was trying to watch a movie on one of those websites where you can stream movies without paying. I tried to click a button on the page, but it led to a popup saying that I won a free iPhone.
The purpose of this hoax it is get you to fill out your personal information and give it to whoever is running the scam. It tricked people by making them think they won something, then told them to fill out their address to send the prize, and card number to pay a shipping fee.
To avoid being duped, realize that offers like this are too good to be true. Why would get a free phone for no reason? It is not realistic. Use your senses to keep yourself out of trouble.
