Online Threat Alerts (OTA)

The website called Pack Credit located at "packcredit.com" is fraudulent. The fraudulent website tricks potential victims into submitting their names, addresses, and telephone numbers to the scammers who are operating the website, by claiming they have a chance of getting a free PlayStation 4, free online mobile recharge, or a registration in the Canada Lottery. But, Pack Credit is not giving away the things it claims it's giving away. The website also tricked potential victims into sending the scam to other people on WhatsApp.

Once the scammers have received their potential victims' information, they will sell their information to other scammers or keep it for themselves. They will then contact their potential victims and attempt to scam them.

Therefore, recipients of messages similar to the one below, with links to www.packcredit.com are asked not to follow the instructions in them. They are asked to delete the messages instead.

I sent a friend a text from my phone to their Gmail address and when they replied back, the text icon had numbers 1-410-200-500. When I hit the person icon my phone asked to add the number 1410200500 to existing or new contact?
I know they are not into scamming for a fact. Did their Gmail get hacked? I showed them it and they don't know what it is either. I then looked at their Gmail contact address and under the Gmail address, it said OTHER? I thought maybe they had another account on their Gmail account and that is why it said OTHER. Thank you for your help for us all!
