Jollibee impostor posts FAKE anniversary giveaway


An impostor Facebook (FB) page named π˜‘ΝŸπ˜°ΝŸπ˜­ΝŸπ˜­ΝŸπ˜ͺ͟𝘣͟𝘦͟𝘦͟ 𝘧͟𝘒͟𝘯͟𝘴 claimed that fast food chain Jollibee is giving away P10,000 and a gift voucher as part of its anniversary celebration. This post is fake.

Its caption read:Β 

β€œKumusta sa lahat, Upang ipagdiwang ang kaarawan ni @Jollibee, lahat ng magsusulat ng β€œHappy Birthday” sa ating PAGE bago ang ika-02 ng Hulyo ay makakatanggap ng mga eksklusibong premyo sa anyo ng mga cash gift bag at shopping voucher. Good luck.”

(Greetings, everyone. To celebrate Jollibee’s [anniversary], everyone who writes β€œHappy Birthday” on our PAGE before July 2 will receive exclusive prizes in the form of cash gift bags and shopping vouchers. Good luck.)

β€œThis is not an official promotion of Jollibee. Please be careful in responding to posts about promos that are not from the Jollibee official Facebook page,” a customer care representative told VERA Files Fact Check in a July 2 email.

VERA Files Fact Check debunked a similar claim last year.

To claim the supposed prize, the bogus FB page instructs netizens to register to a phishing website within five minutes (officialweb-jollibee-2024.blogspot.com). Specifically, the fake website asks for netizens’ email addresses and phone numbers.Β 

Netizens who wrote β€œHappy Birthday” in the comments section received a private message with a link to the bogus phishing website.Β 

Posted by FB page π˜‘ΝŸπ˜°ΝŸπ˜­ΝŸπ˜­ΝŸπ˜ͺ͟𝘣͟𝘦͟𝘦͟ 𝘧͟𝘒͟𝘯͟𝘴 on June 27, the fake post garnered a total of 331 comments, 2,178 comments, and 985 shares. It appeared three days after Jollibee reported that 11 million customers were affected by a data breach.
