Scam Alert: Facebook is Having a Promo!

If you have seen a Facebook note or message that says something like this: Facebook is Having a Promo! I just went shopping and spent like $1000 for free! and which, when clicked,tells you that you can get a free $1,000 visa gift card, be aware this this is another Facebook scam. Scammers are distributing bogus free visa gift cards so they can get people to answer survey ads.

But It's Just a Survey
The surveys may appear harmless and some people, in the hopes of getting the freebies, still go ahead regardless of warnings. Survey ads may ask you for information such as your address and you contact number that scammers can use to send mores spam to you. In worst cases, these information may even get into the hands of identity thieves who may use the details for their own advantage.

Again,

• Facebook is not having a promo and you won't get any free visa gift card for answering surveys.


• Warn your friends about this scam by sharing this post on Facebook.
