In one of the posts, it was mentioned to visit the website and pay through the related post to buy laptops for 39 dollars under special discounts.

 


Another post claims to buy an Apple i15 smartphone at a special discount of $39.
Related social media pages have tried to show that the prices have been greatly reduced as year-end special discounts.
In an investigation by Factseeker on this, it was clear that those social media pages were recently prepared, and fake websites were prepared in a manner similar to the Amazon website.
And when checking Amazon’s official website and official Facebook account, it was observed that no information about such discounts and price reductions has been mentioned.

In this regard, Fact  Seeker sent an email message to Amazon’s customer department and they confirmed that no such discount and price reduction messages have been issued.

At the end of the year, many organizations sell products at special discounts and during that period, fake claims are made and exchanged on social media to defraud customers. Similarly, these messages were also confirmed to be fake.

Fact Seeker urges social media users to verify the authenticity of social media pages and messages that have been posted on social media and not to be fooled by fake messages when purchasing products through social media.
