An alarming post was published on the Żubr brand's social media, warning participants of the “Przy Żubr even” competition against responding to messages from people impersonating the organizer. “People taking part in the 'Even at Żubr' competition on the profile of the Żubr brand were attacked by fraudsters impersonating the Żubr brand, whose actions are illegal and aimed at extorting sensitive information from participants, including financial information,” writes Żubr on Facebook. “We warn you: replying to their message is dangerous,” add the authors of the post.
