How The Blake Shelton Crossbow Scam Fools Unsuspecting Users

The scammers behind this scheme claim to be giving away $2,000 crossbows using the face of American Celebrity Blake Shelton. They leave a link behind for interested users. However to make it appear like you’re getting your money’s worth, they issue terms like living in the United States as eligibility criteria and they go as far as conducting a quick little contest which you will win obviously.

The scam begins the moment they request for your name, address and other sensitive info claiming the bow will be shipped in 5-7 days but then you will need to cover the cost of shipping yourself.

The moment you give them your cc info and hit send. They now have all the info they need to make purchases with your card.
