Phishers Promise Woolworths Gift Certificates in Return for Sensitive Information

Last week we reported about the existence of a Facebook scam that was trying to trick users into visiting various websites by promising them $500 gift vouchers from Woolworths. Now, the Australian supermarket chain’s reputation is once again used in a malicious campaign.

It all starts with an email entitled “Customer Satisfaction Survey” which reads: You have been selected to access the Woolworths 5 questions Survey and win a $50.00 gift certificate. Please click here and complete the form to receive your reward. Thank you.

Those unfortunate enough to fall for it and click on the link are taken to a webpage that displays a standard survey with questions such as “Do you think Woolworths employees are friendly and helpful?” However, the fact that the user provides the answers to the five questions isn’t the main issue, Hoax Slayer notes.

In order for the $50 (€40) credit to be added to their accounts, customers must provide their personal details, including name, address, suburb, postal code, driver license, Medicare card number, individual reference number, date of birth, credit card number, expiration date and CVV.
