Leroy Merlin: A set of tools versus information?
The scam message is sent during August 2024, but could be sent at any time of the year. For once, the offer looks almost real: Leroy Merlin was “chosen” by you for the Dexter brand toolbox, a product that has already been sold by the brand for over 60 euros each. Enough to make the scam credible: the value of the offer remains low, and there is consistency between the product and the brand. This is not always the case.
But now, by clicking on the link we received via email, we encounter a site The title couldn't be further from the official titles of the Merlin Chronicles: “uzehitub.qwaqewave.” (This is just the beginning of the scam address and it is clearly not recommended to access it.)
A scam on the account of the craftsmen… easy to spot
If hackers are making efforts to appear more credible, it's undoubtedly thanks to artificial intelligence. They're not ready yet. It's very easy to tell that this email is a scam, even if just by the image.
There are two solutions: either Leroy Merlin changes graphic designers, or the hackers have trouble making the images transparent. In any case, it is impossible to believe that Leroy Merlin, a giant international company, would allow such a graphic disaster for a promotional campaign.
On the other hand, they should be given a credibility point for the email address used: [email protected] “ It's completely credible, but that doesn't change the root of the problem.
Ultimately, it's simple: once again, it's a scam aimed at stealing personal and banking information. So do-it-yourselfers should be on their toes, as should construction professionals. Because no: Leroy Merlin doesn't want to give you the tools.
