Claim:
"Orange Telecommunications is offering a "$40,000 gift" giveaway for Eid al-Adha celebrations."

Verdict  : False 

Full Text: Eid Al-Adha is one of two major Islamic celebrations observed annually by Muslims worldwide. The holiday commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's (AS) willingness to sacrifice, and Muslims traditionally perform qurbani (sacrifice) to remember this act and help those in need. In 2025, Eid al-Adha falls on Friday, June 6.

Orange is a major telecommunications operator serving 291 million customers globally as of December 2024. The company operates across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, including a branch in Liberia.

Verification  : We contacted Orange Liberia directly through their official Facebook page to verify the giveaway claim. Their response was clear: "Hello, such information is not from us."

We also checked Orange's official global website (orange.com) and found no evidence of any Eid al-Adha promotional campaign or $40,000 giveaway.

Our research further under several red-flags:

  • The link uses a suspicious domain (orange.suy21.xyz) rather than Orange's official website
  • No official announcement on Orange's verified social media channels
  • Company directly denied the claim when contacted
Similarly; a scamDoc authentication result shows a low trust. ScamDoc is a web tool that evaluates the trust of "digital identities" (email addresses or websites).


Conclusion  : The claim that Orange is offering a $40,000 Eid al-Adha gift giveaway is false. This appears to be a scam using Orange's brand name without authorization. Always verify promotional offers through official company channels before participating.
