Romanian post. A very big problem puts one of the oldest institutions in Romania in a very bad light, and this is because of some people who want to bully the most naive people. It seems that several people in Romania received messages today informing them that they had won iPhone XS or Samsung GALAXY S10 phones from the Romanian Post, although they were called i-Phone XS and Samsung S10, the mistake being intentional .

Romanian post. The state company announced today through the Facebook social network that it is not currently running any campaign through which any Romanian will receive a mobile phone for free. Of course, it is quite obvious that the Romanian Post has no money to run contests of this kind with very expensive phones since it has very bad services and little money to invest in their improvement.

Romanian post. You can also see in the image above what the messages received by certain people look like, they appear to be web push notifications sent by a website that has nothing to do with the state company. Of course, ordinary users, who don't even know when they accept to receive notifications from a website, don't realize that the message they received doesn't come from Posta Romana, but from a website they probably don't even know about that they accessed it.

Careful! The Romanian Post does not currently run campaigns with prizes in the latest generation phones! This morning, several mobile service users received messages that they were the winners of a high-end phone, i-Phone XS or Samsung S10, as the case may be. Pošta Română mentions that it does not organize, at this moment, any such misleading contest and is not responsible for the spread of this false information in which the institution's name is used abusively. We also specify that the logo used in the notification is not the official one, according to the Company's Visual Identity Manual.

Romanian post. The choice of this state institution to carry out the campaign with spikes is interesting, and this is because most Romanians already know that an institution of this kind does not have money for such contests. The problem is that in 2019 there were similar campaigns that targeted the eMAG, or RCS & RDS brands, and since in those cases the "hacker" plans were quickly foiled, the use of the Posta Romana brand was chosen, but apparently without much success .

Romanian post. The national state company claims that the only promotions are available on its website, but of course they do not target iPhone XS or Samsung S10 phones.
