Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The "JPS 130th Anniversary Electricity Subsidy" scam below is being spread via WhatsApp. The scam tricks potential victims into believing they can complete a so-called JPS questionnaire to have a chance to win $30,000. But, all the scam does is trick participants into visiting spam and malicious websites, and spread the same scam to other potential victims via WhatsApp. Therefore, recipients of the scam are asked not to follow the instructions in it.
To make the scam more convincing, the scammers include fake Facebook comments claiming people have received the so-called giveway. But, there is no such JPS 130th Anniversary Electricity Subsidy and it doesn't matter what participants do, they will never receive the money they were promised.
