This “free Claude Max” offer we found looks pretty harmless at first.
Free subscription. Big countdown. Lots of glowing reviews.
So what’s the catch?
There’s no free Claude subscription. The whole thing is designed to get you to hand over your Google login.

Here’s the really sneaky part.
The fake Google window has the stuff you’d normally look for: a padlock, Google’s address, and a familiar-looking login page.
But it’s just a picture of a browser inside your browser.
4/🧵
So next time a “free” offer asks you to log in, take a second look.
Check the real browser address bar. And if your password manager refuses to autofill, don’t ignore that warning.
We dug into how this scam works in our latest blog.👇
