Always check the name.

The reply comes from "@GardenHourWithRosa.Official", a copy of the channel's name, and says you won a prize you can only get by texting a WhatsApp number. Real creators reply from their own channel and never ask you to message them for a prize.

Always checkThe real oneThe scam
1Where it livesCheck firstIs it the real company's or person's own address or number?

@GardenHourWithRosa, the channel itself.

@GardenHourWithRosa.Official, an account copying the channel's name and photo.

2What it asks you to doDoes it want a password, a payment, a call, or a tap?

Nothing. It says thank you.

Text a WhatsApp number to get a gift card.

3How hard it pushesIs there a deadline, a threat, or a surprise charge?

No prize, no rush.

A $500 prize you never entered for.

RememberA "creator" who says you won and wants you to text a number is a copycat account. Never message it.
