on Facebook currently circulating a hoax about the supposed suicide of Stefan Raab. Internet users should beware to click the Post. The only goal of the fake message, it is namely, to gather as much user data and to make them money. Dupes users threaten mass spam.
In the post with the picture of the entertainer states above the roof line: “Why bring it around?” The heading under the Raab photo reads: “Suicide – Stefan Raab was the stress too much.” Among them is (especially as grammatically incorrect) explained: “At the age of 49 years, Stefan Raab was today found dead around 23:29 in his garden, so far still no family member has officially expressed …” The sender is adorned with the words “ProSieben.de / TV Total “do not click with the message.
Just and enter data
First, had the website of the private initiative” reported Mimikama “to combat Internet abuse on the fake. It is expressly warned to click the link, since users are thus lured into a trap. Because after’ve shared your post and answered some questions Internet users, they are prompted to enter your private data in a form. This is a typical trick of data collectors.
About a further link users are directed to a lottery, where they are again prompted to enter information, such as first and last names and their email addresses. They also have to agree to get offers by post, email or SMS.
No new scam
What happens to the data afterwards, according to “Mimikama” is not clarified yet. All this experience but as advertising senders are sold to interested companies because why spam en masse to fear.
There is a new scam terrible. In the past there have been similar fake death reports, about Charlie Sheen or Leonardo DiCaprio.
