How is this not The Onion?
This is very misleading!
CrowdStrike did not send gift cards to customers or clients. We did send these to our teammates and partners who have been helping customers through this situation. Uber flagged it as fraud because of high usage rates.
I mean, it makes it a little better, but I’d still be annoyed by it just being 10 bucks.
They might as well not do it. I’d be more insulted than a boss throwing a pizza party
This would be even funnier if there was exactly one $10 gift card everyone has to fight over.
This is a typical mail a phishing campaign would send out, and we have already said to people "never believe this kind of messages. They are all fake.
Now, if a genuine company sends out mails with a genuine gift-cards (what the article on techcrunch seems to indicate) … this is NOT helpfull at all!!!
And that comming from a cybersecurity company (rolling-eyes)
Buy a $10 Xbox gift card and send us the code so that we can activate it. Then you get back to the shop and get $20 in cash - $10 for returning the card and $10 from us. We’ll pay the tax, too.
