A scam taking on the colors of Lidl is currently circulating in France and Belgium.

Many consumers have recently received an e-mail announcing that they have won "races worth 500 euros", reports

Some people have fallen for this fraudulent ad.

However, several elements make it possible to question the veracity of the content of the email.

Already, the sender's address is 2@jpn.jp.net, which is not at all an official address of the hard-discount giant.

The fact that Internet users “won” without even having played is also clearly suspicious.

Some good reflexes to adopt

Faced with this type of announcement, which is particularly attractive in the midst of inflation, it is essential to observe a few elementary reflexes of vigilance.

Analyzing the sender's address and the body of the text, sometimes full of spelling mistakes, can for example help to detect the scam.

As is often the case, this scam aims to collect personal information, including the victims' bank details.

In April and November 2021, Lidl had already been the subject of similar hijackings for nefarious purposes.
