This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

In the evening, I received a message about my membership rewards points. It said the points was going to expire so it asked me to redeem them as soon as possible. I clicked on the website and I saw some gifts could be redeemed. However, I found it strange because it required my personal information. The website looked real but I still went to their official website to check. There was a scam prevention WhatsApp number popped on their website. I guess many people got scammed. Then, I sent the screenshot of the gifts to them and found out that was really a scam. I was lucky!

You weren't lucky. You were smart. 😀

Say : "It said the points were going to expire and asked me to redeem them as soon as possible."

Do you mean "Last evening "?

We click on a link; we visit a website.
