If I clicked on the link what does that mean? Can they get my personal info or see what I do on my phone? help I’m paranoid
In order for them to get your information, you will have to click the link and submit your information on the page you were taken to. Just clicking the link alone is not enough.
I was told I was one of the iPad Pro winners from a messenger called bloom and thought it was maybe a sponcer of group me so I clicked on the link to see what was up and it led me all the way to a place to put in my address, email, and phone number. Looked pretty legit but it still doesn’t seem right.
I clicked on the link. I filled out the survey of how satisfied I used GroupMe, and this led me redirected to nothing after filling them in, so this must be a scam that I received that kind of message on GroupMe from Jane. I searched on Google that is it legitimate that GroupMe gave out iPhone and iPad pro giveaways, and they think it's a scam. I've been deceived that after I filled in the survey, it redirected me to nothing as a trickster.
Wait so if we click on the link then they steal our info? Cause I did...whoops.
