Doha: Prominent retailer Lulu Hypermarkets has issued a clarification on some fake posts circulating in social media regarding “Raffle Prizes & Gift Vouchers” and has warned shoppers to be very careful about such frauds.
“We have come to know about some incidents of attempted frauds in the name of Lulu, where the callers have identified themselves as calling on behalf of Lulu and tried to obtain certain personal and financial information of the persons, including their bank account and bank card details with the intent of defrauding them with false news of winning a prize or with some offers at Lulu.
“Lulu Group hereby declares that it never contacted by itself and has not authorized anyone to contact its customers or common public for their banking, credit card or any similar details”, an official spokesperson of Lulu Management said in a statement.
The public at large is advised to exercise extreme caution while dealing with anyone asking for their bank card or other personal details and report the matter to the concerned authorities. Lulu Group has already lodged official complaint with the concerned police authorities against such fraudsters.
Lulu further informed the general-public to stay up-to-date with our latest news, promotions, and contests only through our official social media accounts.
