An offer giving people the chance to win "free crates of beer" for Father's Day, has been revealed as a hoax.
The WhatsApp scam promotes a "Heineken Beer Father's Day Contest 2022" and says "5,000 coolers full of Heineken beers" are available to claim.
The message also includes an image of a pack of Heineken beers.
It appears to come to WhatsApp users via a contact and includes a link to click through to the beer company's website to enter the competition.
However, clicking on the link runs the risk of exposure to phishing scams, spam and malicious websites which could potentially steal personal information.
Well, I'm not interested in free beer anyway (and I'm not a father, so this isn't exactly aimed at me to begin with ). But still, I think it's important to know that it isn't real, because this could've sucked in a lot of people .
Hopefully, not many have been scammed, and it won't ruin many Father's Days!
