I would like to know if we MUST delete the GroupMe app if we receive this message. And what will happen if I don't delete the GroupMe app after I have received this message.
What if its from someone with a name? Like Barbara Manager-
I just wanna know is this a scam or not bec I get this all the time and I almost pay for the shipping and stuff until I started thinking and now I dont know if I wanna do it or not so I just wanna know is this a scam or not
I just wanna know if this a scam or not
It is a scam.
I just received a message stating that I was a winner of a brand new IPad Pro Air 2021. This I entered my name, mailing address and a phone number. Then they asked for a card number for a payment of a one-time small fee. This is when I realized it was a scam and backed up out of it. How do I secure my GroupMe account from receiving scam messages like this is the near future?
I got a message from Barbara saying I won a free iPad Pro, being the Idiot I am I taped the link and it brought me to safari, I was super excited. I thought that I had just won a I pad, the moment I realized it needed a credit card, for a “small fee” I backed out, and I’m lucky I did!
