While the recently concluded festive season was a great success for e-commerce players, Flipkart & Amazon India, hackers used the opportunity to scam millions of Indian users with the “Big Billion Days Spin the Lucky Wheel Scam”. An investigation conducted by CyberPeace Foundation reveals that Chinese fraudsters and hackers from the GuangDong and Henan province in China were responsible for creating these cyber-attacks which were then maliciously spread via WhatsApp and targeted at gullible e-commerce users who were trying to win free products. Spin The Lucky Wheel Scam emerged within days of Flipkart announcing its Big Billion Day Sale. Chinese Scammers used this opportunity to create a similar-looking scam called “Amazon Big Billion Day Sale”. Internet users in India were sent spurious links to click on and participate in a contest where individuals could win an OPPO F17 Pro (Matte Black, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB Storage) smartphone. People who were duped into believing that they had won the phone as a prize would be asked to share the link via WhatsApp to their friends and family.
