You won’t win a Camper RV for sharing a Facebook post. It’s a scam (again)

A Facebook post is trying to lure users into liking a Facebook page called Estilo by claiming that they are giving away 15 Camper RV vehicles that can’t be sold because they are old models.

The Facebook page, called Estilo, claims that a random winner will be selected in May 2017.

Our veteran readers will not be surprised to learn that this is a typical like-farming Facebook scam designed to trick users into liking and sharing a Facebook post so it goes viral across the social networking site.

These Facebook posts are designed to collect followers by tricking users into interacting with the posts. There are no Camper RV vehicles being given away, and the assertion that they cannot be sold because they are old models doesn’t even make any sense. It appears criminals are just making silly and nonsensical assertions in their bait to weed out only the most gullible of Facebook users.

And this is because Facebook users who interact with these posts are likely going to be scammed in some sort of way. For example, the page can later post links to spammy marketing websites that attempt to harvest their personal information, or these pages can be used to trick Facebook users into handing over money which is then stolen.

It is important not to interact with these sorts of scammy posts. Not only do you put yourself in the crosshairs of crooks, but by sharing the posts, you expose your friends to the same scams.
