Warning! LG Electronics SMS and email scam
LG Electronics S.A. (LGESA) issued a statement today in which it once again warns consumers to be careful of hoax SMSs and e-mails currently in circulation.
According to LGESA official looking SMSs and e-mails are falsely claiming that the recipient of the SMS or e-mail has won a sum of money from LGE South Africa.
The SMSs and e-mails are complete scams and consumers are urged to delete the messages and not respond to them at all, stated LGE South Africa.
“We urge consumers not to fall prey to these hoax SMSs and e-mails and not to provide any personal or banking details in response to these SMS and e-mail messages” says Dr Michelle Potgieter, Marketing and Communications Director for LG Electronics South Africa.
“This communication is not generated by LGESA. It is a hoax and a scam intended to abuse the credibility of LGESA with the intention of fraudulently obtaining highly confidential information from the recipient of the communication,” explains Potgieter.
LGESA cautions all recipients against disclosing any personal and/or confidential information in response to such communication and warned that it will not be held liable for any resultant loss.
