Discount Offer Scam is a widespread menace which sucks out millions of dollars every year from consumers, who unwittingly become victims. Before the advent of email, text message and social networks, the scam was limited and used to be run through Print, Radio and TV. Arrival of the internet and proliferation of mobile communication & social networking have made it quite easy for criminals to target millions of people with bogus Discount Offers, while being anonymous & safe in remote locations.
There are legitimate discount offers from legitimate companies and these will be generally at reasonable rates and not at “too good to be true” rates. However, do note that even regular retailers too could play the “Discount Offer Trick” by first raising the price of the product and then offering 30% discount or “buy 2 get 1 free schemes”
So be wary of all discount offers!
The scam plays out in a variety of consumer fields with the following common characteristics:
The discount rate is “too good to be true”
To get the phenomenal discount, one needs to be a member and pay fees!
Asks for immediate payment by credit card, preloaded cash card or Western Union
The offer is worded to appear as if its from a well known company
