Groupme iPad Pro Winner Scam - Free iPhone Giveaway

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!

Just receive this scam, came in as direct message

Thank you so much, I just got the message. It was extremely helpful.

I received a message from Jocelyn, I knew it was fake. I just wanted to make others aware.

BE ALERT. THEY TELL YOU YOU ONLY HAVE TO PAY $2 OR SOME RIDICULOUSLY LOW AMOUNT FOR POSTAGE. NOT TRUE. $49.95 IS MORE LIKE IT!
BE SAVY AND DO NOT GET SUCKED IN.

What should I do if I clicked on it to protect my identity

What I think is that just maybe reset the device unless they downloaded something they probably just got your IP, and just turning off the device (like a hard shutoff) and turning on should usually switch your IP with a new one.

Does anyone know what happens if you did reply to this scam? I received a message from my “company” stating I won a free iPad, which my company does giveaways on a reg. Basis so it wasn’t out of the ordinary. What do I do from here? Just watch out for suspicious purchases? From now until whenever? Please advise! This is an app used throughout my company and thought it was monitored via the IT dept. Never heard of it, nor used it til this past year. Please help with this situation.

I got one from Official GM and it turns out it was a scam. Someone out there is now selling my personal info. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Did you click on it or reply? I’m very sorry they took your info!

I just got one and I clicked on the link I hope nothing happened!

Apparently the "Official-GM" thought that I deserved a free iPad Pro as well!

Just received a message from a "bella" stating that I was selected as a winner of an iPad Pro. Didn't think it was legit so I had to look around the web to make sure. Thanks for this post.

Yes me too but it helps that the name was also bella to help me decide if it was real or fake. I got it at like 5am.
