Beware: fake promotions and competitions are currently circulating

False e-mails are currently being circulated on behalf of Decathlon informing you that you have been selected to receive a free tent. You are asked to click to receive it. WARNING. Beware as this is a phishing email. If you click on it, you risk sharing your personal data with cybercriminals.

In addition to this e-mail, which is circulating a lot at the moment, other similar publications are quite common on Facebook and Instagram. If it's too good to be true, it's probably a scam.

In both cases, don't click on any links or share any information. If you receive any suspicious e-mails, you can send them to suspicious@safeonweb.be
