Dear Mariann,
Thank you for the complaint received regarding the ****.
Our attention has been drawn to ********** activities whereby consumers have received an sms message informing them that they have won money in a promotion by Unilever. Unilever is a manufacturer of brands like Sunlight, Skip, Omo, Knorr and Robertson spices.
The ********** **** involves the sender requesting the consumers? banking details and requesting them to deposit monies into an account in order for them to receive their winnings.
Unilever will never request consumers to deposit money after winning a competition. In case of any sms contest run by Unilever, the company will also not require a winner to send banking details via sms. All winners will be contacted by Unilever representatives individually and winners will not be expected to pay any administration or transactional fees. We also recommend that you do not disclose personal or financial details to anyone you do not know.
Unilever brands run sms competitions from time to time but they are fully branded and recognizable as such.
This **** is being investigated by our risk management team who are working closely with the police.
If you have any suspicions, please call our consumer care line on ********** 908.
Kind regards,
Unilever SA CEC
