Did you ever read anything about beer scams? Please let us know if you have. The fourth week of the coronavirus lockdown in the United Kingdom is now complete. Bars and pubs will remain closed. This has led to a significant increase in the number of people drinking harmful beverages at their homes and purchasing harmful beverages.
One con artist, claiming to be Heineken, a world-famous Dutch beer business, is trying to profit from Heineken Whatsapp Scand 2022. They will try to convince people to accept complimentary beer kegs, in order for them to steal their personal information.
The Heineken Scam
WhatsApp users in the United Kingdom have been sent a hoax email that claims to be an “offer” from a well-known beverage manufacturer. It offers free beverage kegs.
You will be asked to click on a link that takes you to their bogus site. Once there, you will see a message saying “HEINEKEN STAY AT HOME with 4 FREE kegs (probably Heineken Cooler Competition Scand )” and then you will be prompted for a survey. This will take only a few seconds to get you eligible for the giveaway.
More details:
This phishing scam is being spread via the popular messaging platform WhatsApp. It asks users for their personal data to be saved and stolen later.
You won’t receive any freebies from it. All you will get is a compromised bank account and stolen funds. Since 2018, the scam has existed.
When did the Free Heineken scheme start?
In 2018, individuals began getting fraudulent Heineken correspondence. Hackers have now rebranded the scam. They now use the COVID-19 lockdown for the main focus of their message. They claim they are giving away free drinks to encourage people to stay in.
Heineken admitted publicly that the WhatsApp fraud in 2018 was fiction. Heineken immediately stated the matter to the public after the fraud was started.
According to them, the campaign suggests that Heineken will give away free kegs in celebration of its 140th Anniversary. Codegreen Solutions recipients are encouraged share the news with other people.

Conclusion:
Let’s say you get a WhatsApp message from Heineken promising to give away products. The government suggests that in such cases, you don’t click on the link, open attachments, reply not to them, and visit the government website to report the incident.
