Beware of Scams Targeting Caterpillar Fans
We've been made aware of a scam targeting social media users in Brazil. Fake websites are claiming to offer free Caterpillar boots after completing a survey. These sites are not affiliated with us and are a fraudulent attempt to collect personal information and payments for non-existent shipping costs.
Stay Alert! Here's how to spot the scam:
- The offer comes from an unverified source.
- You're asked to provide personal details or payment for shipping.
- The URL does not match our official website.
Remember:
- Always verify promotions through our official channels.
- Protect your personal information.
- If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
If you’ve fallen victim to this scam:
- Report the incident to your local law enforcement, the Federal Trade Commission or the Internet Crime Complaint Center
- Call your bank/credit card company to stop any unauthorized transactions
Remember, Caterpillar values the trust and safety of our customers. We urge you to exercise caution and reach out to us directly if you have any concerns about promotions or offers.
