Warning: @JMC_NOOR on Twitter

Please avoid this twitter account as it's set up to scam people. There was a comp I saw yesterday to win a £75 ASOS card. They DMd me in the early hours to say I'd won....

I'll give you the bare bones....


THEM: WINNER! Congratulations, You have WON a £75 ASOS Gift card!!! You were a select winner!!!! Claim your ASOS Gift card by visiting the following link! LINK REMOVED

ME: I've tried 3 now and it just won't let me claim my £75 ASOS card

THEM: Please try again and complete the task.

(The task involved clicking a link and following through the links request)

ME: Hi, exactly the same issue; I click on 'Get KrispyKreme Doughnuts' and it takes me here LINK REMOVED - the link in question requests I deposit £250 to continue

THEM: That is part of the task please navigate through and complete it!

ME: Sorry, I don't understand. To get my £75 Asos card I have to sign up to a scam website that is illegal? Is that what you are saying?

THEM: Please select a different task if you're having difficult completing the one you have chosen! Also I can assure you that our partners only provide verification tasks that are safe and legal.

ME: They all go to that link above and then demand I deposit a minimum of £250 to continue.That isn't exactly what I'd call 'safe. I can give you a screen shot if you don't believe me.

I PROVIDED A SCREEN SHOT

THEM: I will contact my partners about this.

ME:So, back to my £75 Asos card/voucher... Can you DM me that?
And next "You can no longer send messages to this person" and "You are blocked from following @JMC_NOOR and viewing @JMC_NOOR's Tweets"
