Scammers Impersonate Júlia Perfumeries in €2 Fake Stock Box Phishing Scam
Fraudsters on Facebook exploit Júlia's brand to trick users into phishing links disguised as cheap surplus cosmetics offers, stealing personal data.
Key Points
- Scammers use Júlia branding on Facebook for fake €2 surplus stock box offers.
- Victims directed to phishing links that steal credentials.
- Júlia confirms the campaign is fake; no public promotions exist.
- Users advised to verify via official channels and report to authorities.
Scammers are using the branding and products of Júlia perfumeries to lure social media users into phishing schemes, primarily on Facebook and similar platforms.
The fraudsters falsely claim that Júlia is offering surplus stock boxes—typically reserved for staff—to the public for just €2. Victims are directed to fill out a form via a provided link to claim the cosmetics and other items. However, clicking the link triggers the theft of personal credentials or other sensitive data.
Júlia officials have confirmed the campaign is unauthorised and does not originate from the company. The perfumeries group, a well-known chain in Andorra, routinely handles excess inventory internally but has not extended such promotions publicly.
Users who encounter these posts should avoid interacting with the links, as they lead to credential-harvesting sites. Authorities recommend verifying offers directly through Júlia's official channels and reporting suspicious activity to platform moderators or local police.
No specific victim numbers have been reported, but the scheme exploits trust in the familiar brand to steal login details for further fraud. Júlia has not detailed additional security measures in response.
