I have received one link on WhatsApp from two or three friends of mine. Bigbazaar is offering Rs.5000 voucher as the message described. The domain name was almost same as big bazaar domain name. These kind of offers are generally tempting. Even the registration date of the domain was yesterdays date, 10th April 2018. There was a slight doubt. I clicked on that link. There were 4 subsequent questions. After submitting answers it asked to share that offer on 20 groups on WhatsApp. Only clicking on that link was incrementing the counter. There wasn't need of sharing. When I tried from my iPhone it asked me to download few apps. It's always risky to download such kind of apps as these apps can infect your mobile. When I tried on android it was navigating to the youtube video.
Hacker generally tries following things with these activities.
1. Increase downloads of such apps
2. To infect your mobile
३. To waste people time
४. To increment youtube views
Sharing the link of one of my article on the same topic which went viral few days back. You will come to know basic precautions on such things
Thanks,
