Mufti Menk Ramadan giveaway post making rounds on WhatsApp is a SCAM

A post on WhatsApp claiming that popular Islamic speaker, Mufti Menk, is undertaking a Ramadan giveaway in Nigeria is False and the link attached to the message is a scam that is collecting personal data of unsuspecting applicants. None of Mufti Menk’s social media accounts or his website has any advertisement on a Ramadan giveaway.

Claim: Mufti Menk is offering 100,000 naira to Nigerians as part of his charitable activities for Ramadan.

Source: WhatsApp message

Verdict: Scam

Researched by Nusrat Essah

A WhatsApp message with an attached link claims that popular Zimbabwean Islamic scholar, Mufti Ismail Menk is offering 100,000 naira giveaway to Nigerians as part of his ongoing charitable and humanitarian efforts for the Ramadan season.

While advertising a 100,000 naira cash giveaway, a portion of the message urges people to click an attached URL to receive 50,000 naira instantly.

FactSpace West Africa investigated the link by filling out the application process that starts from a landing page that congratulates users for being “eligible” to receive a 100,000 naira Ramadan cash gift, and prompts them to click “OK” to activate the reward.
