And, to help spread the scam to other potential victims, the scammers claim the recipients need to share the fake email message with their family and friends.

For persons who were tricked into making payment with their credit card on the fraudulent website, they should let their banks know that they were tricked into using their credit cards on a fraudulent website.
Online users should be very skeptic about free giveaways, especially during the shopping seasons. The shopping season is when scammers are most active, because they know millions of people are shopping online during that time.
