WhatsApp users warned over scam offering free Cadbury chocolate before stealing money and personal information

WhatsApp users have been warned over a scam that promises to give you free chocolate – but in fact just steals money and personal information. The message being sent around on WhatsApp suggests that Cadbury is celebrating its anniversary by giving away a free hamper of chocolate. All users have to do, it says, is pass on the message and go through a few steps. But the chocolate will never come – and those steps are intended to cause frustration to users at best, and could lead to them losing money or access to their personal data. Cadbury chocolate has been used as to lure people into scams for years.
