The post claims that winners will be announced on the Page a few days hence.<\/p>\n<p>However, \u00a0the post is a scam and the claim that you can \u00a0win cruise tickets just by sharing and liking is a lie. There are no prizes and the post and associated Facebook Page are not connected to \u00a0Royal Caribbean in any way.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the bogus Page is simply to gather as many likes as possible in the shortest possible time. By tricking people into sharing the fraudulent material to all of their friends, the scammers ensure that the scam post is seen \u00a0by an increasing number of Facebook users. As a result, the fake Facebook Page will quickly gather \u00a0a great many new likes. Offering valuable prizes such as cruises as bait is a surefire way of tricking many people into participating in these like-farming schemes.<\/p>\n<p>Once a Facebook Page has accumulated a goodly number of likes, it can then be reused to perpetrate other scams, this time to a considerably larger audience.  \u00a0Often, the next \u00a0step after a like-farming campaign such as this one is to use the same page to launch a <a title=\"Facebook Survey Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/facebook-survey-scam-list.shtml\">survey scam<\/a> designed to trick people into submitting their personal information on dodgy survey websites.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, the now like-laden Facebook Page can be sold on the black market to \u00a0other scammers who will subsequently adapt it for their own fraudulent purposes.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Facebook Like-Farming Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/like-farming-scams.shtml\">Like-farming scams<\/a> like this one continue to be <a title=\"Royal Caribbean Australia 'Win A Cruise' Facebook Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/royal-caribbean-australia-win-a-cruise-facebook-scam\/\">very common<\/a> on Facebook.  \u00a0Despite widespread publicity about such scams, they continue to gain new victims every hour of every day. Be wary of any Facebook post or Page that claims that you can win valuable prizes just by liking and sharing. If one of these scams comes your way, don&#8217;t be tempted to participate <a title=\"The Case Against 'Just in Case'\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/case-against-just-in-case.shtml\">just in case<\/a>. Don&#8217;t foster the nefarious goals of these scammers by liking, sharing, or commenting on their bogus prize posts.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: \u00a0March 11, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: \u00a0March 11, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
