The Competition Committee has revealed that the advertising campaigns circulating on the internet in the name of Korzinka and Coca-Cola are actually phishing schemes. Citizens were required not to share personal information with unknown persons and to verify information about the campaign from official sources.
According to the committee's press service, new fraudulent schemes in the name of well-known companies are being observed on the Internet and social networks, and the population is being warned about this.
In particular, information has spread on social networks that the owner of the Korzinka supermarket chain has prepared gifts for customers on the occasion of the 29th anniversary of Anglesey Food. According to him, advertising messages were posted that Cubes refrigerators can be purchased for 27 thousand soums.
Also, in the advertisement distributed by the Coca-Cola Ichimligi Uzbekistan Ltd company, information was provided that a branded mini refrigerator and 24 drinks can be purchased for only 30 thousand soums.
Under the terms of the promotion, participants were required to go through a special link or fill out a short questionnaire to receive gifts.
The Competition Committee, having checked the companies' official websites, found that no official information was provided about these promotions and that such promotions were not being carried out.
The committee noted that "analysis has shown that the procedure for receiving gifts presented to participants of these promotions fully corresponds to the phishing scheme carried out on behalf of well-known brands."
Therefore, citizens are advised not to access unknown links, not to provide personal information to unknown persons, and to verify information about the campaign from official sources to avoid fraud. This is an important step in ensuring security on the Internet and protecting personal data.
