Looking for a free blockbuster online? Before you press play, make sure you're not starring in a scam. Jay Elliott with the Better Business Bureau's Tip-Off to the Rip-Off® on WBBM Newsradio.
Scammers lure people with promises of free, instant access to blockbuster movies right from the comfort of home.
The catch? The offer is pure Hollywood fiction.
You'll likely be asked to create a free account or provide personal information before watching. While everything may look legitimate, complete with official movie artwork and glowing reviews, the site is really designed to steal your information or install malware on your device.
These scams can appear in emails, pop-up ads, social media posts, and even paid search results.
To stay safe, stick with trusted streaming services, question unbelievable offers, and never download unfamiliar software.
