The public is advised not to open the email or click on any of the links related to the email and also not to reply to the email.
Purported scam email
In the picture of the scam email, the contents can be seen asking unsuspecting members to review all given information and to contact the sender if there are any questions and there was a link provided which has been censored off.
It then carries on to tell the recipient to send a photo of what the slogan “Life Does Not Rewind, Say ‘No’ to Drugs” means to the recipient and they will get to win attractive prizes.
There are also links provided for the recipient to participate and find out more about the purported ‘contest’.
The links have all be censored off as they are phishing links.
