Have you seen this ‘competition’ on your timeline?
The Facebook Page claims that you can win an Audi R8 car just by liking the page, commenting with your desired colour, and sharing a promotional post.
No Audis are being given away. The page is a like-farming scam designed to trick you into liking, sharing and further promoting the bogus material by commenting. Facebook Pages with high numbers of likes can subsequently be used to launch further scam and spam campaigns. Or they can be sold on the black market to other scammers.
For a chance to win one of the cars, you are instructed to like the Page, add a comment stating which colour car you would like, and then share the promotional post to your Facebook friends.
Supposedly, the ‘lucky’ winners will be announced a few days after the date that the promotion was posted.
However, the Page is a like-farming scam. It is not giving away any Audis. Those tricked into participating will win nothing at all.
