For a chance to win the vehicle, claims the post, all you need to do is like the Page, share the post on Facebook, and tag a friend in the post.  \u00a0The Page features a photograph of Adele as its profile image and includes a cover graphic that promotes the star&#8217;s album &#8217;25&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Facebook Page is fraudulent. It is not associated with Adele in any way and it is not giving away a Range Rover. In fact, the Page is a scam designed to collect large numbers of Page likes very quickly. By tricking people into sharing the bogus post and tagging their friends, the scammers ensure that their fraudulent material will travel quickly across Facebook and they will thus gain a great many new Page likes. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p> The genuine \u00a0Adele Facebook Page, which is simply called &#8216;Adele&#8217;, not &#8216;Adele Laurie Blue&#8217;, features \u00a0Facebook&#8217;s blue &#8216;verified&#8217; icon to prove its authenticity. \u00a0The profile and cover images used on the fake Facebook Page \u00a0have been stolen \u00a0from \u00a0Adele&#8217;s genuine Page.<\/p>\n<p>And, the photograph of the red-ribboned Range Rover featured in the scam post has been <a title=\"Range Rover Image 2013\" href=\"https:\/\/new.vk.com\/wall-31817865_52847\">floating around the interwebs<\/a> since at least 2013, so it is hardly &#8216;brand new&#8217; in any case.<\/p>\n<p>Creating bogus \u00a0Facebook Pages that <a title=\"Fake 50 Cent Cash Giveaway Facebook Page is a Like-Farming Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/50-cent-like-farming-scam.shtml\">claim to belong to celebrities<\/a> is a common ruse used in both <a title=\"Facebook Like-Farming Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/like-farming-scams.shtml\">like-farming<\/a> and \u00a0survey scams. In fact, in March 2016, <a title=\"Fake Adele Facebook Page Is A Like-Farming Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/fake-adele-facebook-page-is-a-like-farming-scam\/\">another fake Adele Facebook page<\/a> falsely claimed to be giving away smartphones to fans who liked, shared and commented. Be wary of any Page or post that claims that a celebrity is giving away cash \u00a0or prizes in exchange for liking and sharing. Keep in mind that the official Facebook pages of most celebrities will include the verified icon beside their names.<\/p>\n<p>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/bogus-adele-laurie-blue-facebook-page-promises-free-range-rovers-like-farming-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/bogus-adele-laurie-blue-facebook-page-promises-free-range-rovers-like-farming-scam\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: &amp;copy depositphotos.com\/ l.dawidziuk.ldmedia.pl Outline: Posts on a Facebook Page that supposedly belongs to popular UK singer Adele claims that the star is offering the chance to win \u00a0a brand new Range Rover to Facebook users \u00a0who like the Page, share the post, and tag a friend.
