Tiffany & Co. Giveaway Facebook Scams

The Facebook posts below: "To celebrate the launch of our London store we're giving away a £5000 spending spree to 3 lucky winners" and "we are giving away this stunning diamond ring worth £20,000 to celebrate the opening of our new London store," are fraudulent, and are Facebook like-farming scams. The scams will attempt to trick Facebook users, by claiming that they can have a chance of receiving £5000 to go on a spending spree, and a diamond ring worth £20,000. But, the fake Facebook posts and page have nothing to do with Tiffany & Co., and is only a scam to get Facebook users to comment on, "like" or share the same deceptive posts with their friends. The victims of the scam may also be asked to complete surveys.

Now, by liking, commenting on, and sharing the scam, you are only helping to spread it to other Facebook users and making the scammers responsible for this, earn money. Scammers earn money when they make a page popular and are able to sell it to the highest bidder, along with the names and other public information of the persons who liked or shared the scam.
