A Rogers Email #Scam Using The iPhone 16 Is Making The Rounds
If you get an email saying that you’re going to get something for free, it might be a scam. Case in point is this email using the Rogers brand and riding on the coat tails of the iPhone 16:
Let me get one thing out of the way right up front. No Canadian telco is going to give you a phone for free. That affects their bottom line. So it’s not going to happen. EVER. Thus knowing that, this is clearly a scam. And you should delete this. But if that’s not convincing enough, this might be:
The email address that sent this is not coming from “Rogers.com” so this is another sign of it being a scam. So not that you should ever do this, let’s see what these threat actors are up to:
When I tried to click on “Share Your Thoughts”, I got this on Firefox and Opera. This only worked on Google Chrome which shows that the threat actors behind this aren’t too bright as they are limiting the audience of this scam to just Chrome users.
Well, this is another one of those fake surveys to supposedly get an iPhone 16. Okay. Let’s go down the rabbit hole and see where this goes:
Ten fake questions. Oh Joy.
Great. I supposedly now get an iPhone 16. And if you look at some of the specs, they’re wrong as Apple for example doesn’t have a 200MP camera. But you know, facts.
And look at the fake comments here. The threat actors clearly didn’t spend a whole lot of time coming up with these as they seriously don’t sound authentic.
So this is the part of the scam where I assume that the threat actors would collect your personal information and your credit card details so the can commit fraud and identity theft. But the website crashed and went to Google’s home page before I got that far. I don’t know why. The scam targets Rogers customers and maybe because I am on Bell it didn’t like me? I don’t know. But this scam is something that I can see many falling for as humans gravitate towards something that is perceived as free, and let their guard down as a result. Don’t be one of those people and delete this email if it hits your inbox.
