Like many like-farming pages, the Facebook page that published this post is an obvious scam page. It contains no informational posts, only photos of holiday destinations stolen elsewhere from the Internet, and the people who operate the page are anonymous – there are no company or contact details should you wish to get in touch with the people behind the page.
