Des escrocs inondent Facebook de promotions sur des sacs à dos Decathlon notamment. Voici leur technique et leurs objectifs.
Les faux concours sur Facebook nous divertissent depuis plus de dix ans, et l’arnaque reste efficace: depuis quelques mois, les posts rémunérés se multiplient, promettant notamment un sac à dos Decathlon à deux francs.
Ainsi, une certaine Nadine Keller ou encore une Sophie Delacroix – bref, une jeune femme sympathique avec un petit chien trop mignon – nous raconte que sa mère a été licenciée de manière totalement injustifiée par son employeur (pour Sophie Delacroix, c'est son mec), mais passons. L'employeur? Decathlon.
Elle révèle donc quelque chose que seuls les employés du fabricant sons censés savoir: en remplissant un petit sondage en ligne, on recevra un sac à dos The North Face. Pour se venger de Decathlon, elle partage le lien vers l'enquête afin d'en faire profiter le plus de personnes possible.
Des publications de ce genre sont envoyées en masse par de faux profils créés tous les jours. Et ce, avec à chaque fois un libellé légèrement modifié et de nouvelles «photos de preuve» de sacs à dos soi-disant achetés pour deux francs. L'arnaque dure depuis des mois notamment en France et en Belgique, aujourd'hui, elle est chez nous.
Des dizaines de comptes proposent des arnaques avec Decathlon. En français, on trouve pas mal d'offres en euro.
