Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
There are Whole Foods $175 Voucher scams circulating on WhatsApp (see below), which claim the multinational supermarket chain store is giving away $175 vouchers to loyal customers. According to the scams, if you share and comment on it, you're supposed to get a $175 voucher or coupon. But after sharing and commenting, all you will get is offers to sign up for credit cards and other subscriptions, and you will never receive the $175 voucher you were promised.

Just received it! Fraud,fraud fraud!! claims send to 20 people to recieve vochour in 2-3 days. FRAUD!! How can 20 * 20 = ??? only 85 vouchers remaining?
Glad I checked this out first!! I haven’t been to Whole Foods in years and I get a voucher out of the blue??? Really??
Me too, I knew it was fake.
I knew this was too good to be true so I decided to go online to check. Glad I did because I don't click on links. I'll send the person who sent this an email stating please don't send me any links.
do not fall for this c**p!
Straight up criminals
D**n, like a fool I clicked on it because a friend sent it. I don't even know 20 people on WhatsApp.(The instructions were to send to 20 other persons on WhatsApp.) So I never completed after I answered the first few questions. Do I have to worry about malware now? Or is it just the credit card and subscription solicitations?
No, there is no need to worry about malware.
Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. I'm still nervous. I thought about doing a factory reset, but it would be a hassle to download everything again. I scanned my files several times using a free app called Avast. Nothing found. I normally would never click on such links. They created this scam just to send credit card applications and subscription offers? I'm afraid to go into my bank apps and such now. Nothing seems out of the ordinary thus far. It's not heating up. The battery life is about the same. No unusual data use.
I just received one from a buddy who never talks to me. Way too obvious scammers. Try harder next time.
