DON’T disclose your personal or financial details if you receive an sms message informing you that you have won money in a promotion by Unilever.
The fraudulent scam involves the sender requesting the consumers’ banking details and requesting them to deposit monies into an account in order for them to receive their winnings.
Unilever is a manufacturer of brands like Sunlight, Skip, Omo, Knorr and Robertson spices.
Unilever will never request consumers to deposit money after winning a competition. In case of any sms contest run by Unilever, the company will also not require a winner to send banking details via sms. All winners will be contacted by Unilever representatives individually and winners will not be expected to pay any administration or transactional fees.
Unilever brands run sms competitions from time to time but they are fully branded and recognisable as such.
