Claim:<\/strong>\u00a0Toyota is giving away cars and gifts as part of its 80th-anniversary celebration<\/p>\n

Source:<\/strong>\u00a0Widely shared link<\/p>\n

Verdict: HOAX<\/strong><\/p>\n

Researched by Rabiu Alhassan<\/strong><\/p>\n

A link being circulated on social media claims multinational automotive manufacturer, Toyota is giving away cars and gifts as part of its 80th-anniversary\u00a0celebration.<\/p>\n

The link which shows the brand logo of Toyota comes with the title \u201cToyota 80th<\/sup>\u00a0Anniversary Celebration. Free Gifts for everyone!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The correct Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the Japanese company (www.toyota.com<\/a>) is also deceptively displayed to attract the unsuspecting public, even though a click on the link takes users to a completely different unsecured website.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What happens when you click on the link?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A click on the link takes one to a cloned page of Toyota, encouraging gullible users to answer a set of four questions before you can get to claim your prize- \u201cToyota Corolla\u201d.<\/p>\n
