So, you will soon begin receiving \u00a0unwanted and annoying phone calls, text messages, emails, and letters peddling a range of dubious products and services.<\/p>\n<p>The scammers who created the bogus iPhone giveaway will earn a commission each time somebody provides personal details on one of the third-party websites.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, via the bogus delivery form, the scammers also have the means to contact you directly via email or surface mail. In some cases, they may contact people and try to trick them into sending money to cover supposed delivery or processing fees for the &#8211; non-existent &#8211; free iPhone.  \u00a0Or they may use the contact details to try to draw victims into other types of scams.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/what-is-a-facebook-survey-scam\/\">Facebook survey scams<\/a> continue to be very common and new versions appear every day.  \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HSNet Article Center --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"5727909035\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h2>An example of the scam post<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8482\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/win-iphone-7-facebook-survey-scam\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,1301\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1-184x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1-630x1024.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8482\" src=\"https:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1.jpg\" alt=\"Win iPhone 7 Survey Scam\" width=\"800\" height=\"1301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1-184x300.jpg 184w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1-768x1249.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1-630x1024.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1-500x813.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/win-iphone-7-survey-scam-2017-1-585x951.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ix3EyWHEM6\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/what-is-a-facebook-survey-scam\/\">What is a Facebook Survey Scam?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
