Beware of scams under the guise of grocery discounts on social media
Scammers are adding new tactics to their schemes every day. By copying and circulating brand-new supermarket websites on social media, the scammers are plotting to deceive citizens by using the chain's current products. An electric bicycle, listed for 19,999 lira on A101's official website but out of stock, is now on sale for 4,999 lira on the scammers' website.
A101 officials contacted by TELE1 regarding the fraud cases said, "There are many fraudulent sites through A101. Our customers may be suffering. Our teams are working behind the scenes on the issue."
HOW TO UNDERSTAND?The links to the scammers' sites don't bear the names of the official sites. Their names may end in different domain names rather than .com.tr.
Citizens who will shop on the sites are directed only to the page where the product is located and cannot enter other categories.
When you enter your card information on the payment screen, you click the "Make Payment" button, but the site throws an error. Payments can't be made instantly, but your card information can be copied and potentially fall into the hands of malicious individuals.
Even if payment is made, you do not receive the product in question.
