How Fee-Based Phishing Schemes Work
Fraudsters create landing pages that mimic the interface and color scheme of official services. After completing a fake survey or opening a virtual box, the victim is informed they won a large cash prize, but must pay a currency conversion fee or courier delivery charge via a built-in CVC collection form.
How to Protect Your Finances from Scams
- verify official promotion info only inside the marketplace's mobile app
- check the sender's email address and ensure the domain matches the official website
- remember that legitimate services never require fee payments to credit bonuses
- close the page without entering personal info if anything looks suspicious
