The Facebook page below, which claims Cardi B (Belcalis Almanzar), an American hip hop recording artist, is giving away 75 pairs of Air Jordans (basketball sneakers) to lucky fans is a like-farming scam. The fake Facebook page that goes by the name "Cardi- B" has nothing to do with the recording artist because it was created by scammers to trick their potential victims into "liking", commenting on, and sharing it, in order to make it popular.
