Giveaway scams are a type of fraud that uses social media platforms to lure unsuspecting victims into providing personal information or money. They generally take the form of an offer claiming a substantial prize will be given away if the victim follows certain steps, such as clicking on links or providing personal details. In reality, these giveaways are usually run by scammers intending to steal their victims' data or money.  Identifying giveaway scams requires careful attention. So remember that no legit entity would ever ask for sensitive personal information like your credit card details in exchange for supposed winnings. When this happens it is most likely a scam! Protect your digital identity and don’t share your data with anyone.
