    Exclamation Facebook Scams......

    Free Facebook Hoodie

    This is a Scam: First 100,000 People to like will get a free fb hoodie. This person created this to get LIKES while giving your PC a virus.

    Just think about it, FB doesn't give Freebies...they always give a disclaimer that
    they aren't affiliated with the sites. Be Careful! No Hoodies!

    Nothing about a virus that is probably a hoax just like the free hoodie - here is a link that has the info on it. http://www.thatsnonsense.com/view.ph...Hoodie%20Event

    Another Freebie Scam On Facebook

    There is a page purporting to belong to Robanda Anti-Aging Skin Care and they're offering a sample. It looked phishy to me so I emailed Robanda. Here is their reply:

    Hi Delores,

    Thank you for contacting Robanda International. This is a fake Facebook page—we are currently working with the Facebook Legal team to get it removed. Please remove from any coupon sites you may monitor. We have also been contacting other coupon blogs/websites to get their post taken down immediately.


    Thank you,

    Casey

    So if you run into this offer on another site, do NOT respond!
    Some days, it's not even worth chewing through the restraints.

    I didn't realise it was possible for people to do this! It's not big or clever.. however I believe I can vouch for the Health Monthly one I posted earlier for the simple fact that they are a legit company with a monthly printed magazine published (I got the link to their page from said printed mag) and they are only trying to promote their new facebook and twitter pages as they haven't used social media til now.

    I have also ordered from their website many times

    Via AMC Theatres "IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do NOT click on an offer for "Four Free Tickets to AMC." It's a scam that takes you to a third party site and asks permission to access your Facebook account.

    Careful!!!
