No. Amazon is not offering free gifts to all; that WhatsApp message is fake

Fake news tends to travel very fast on WhatsApp, and so do fake offers. The latest viral message claims to offer free gifts for all Amazon users as part of the e-commerce giant’s 30th anniversary. It also has a link, where Amazon is spelt incorrectly. We’ve also reached out to Amazon for a statement. The message appears to have gone viral on WhatsApp and is being shared across groups.

When we clicked on the link, it takes us to a survey, which even has the Amazon logo on it and can fool a lot of people. After filling the survey you then have to choose a box from a set of nine, and one has a present.
