A second post on \u00a0the Page claims that you can win an iPhone by liking, sharing and commenting. \u00a0<\/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>However, the \u00a0Page is bogus \u00a0and is in no way associated with Adele. And those who participate as instructed will certainly not win a phone. In fact, the Page is yet another <a title=\"Facebook Like-Farming Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/like-farming-scams.shtml\">like-farming scam<\/a>. The scammers who created the \u00a0fake Page simply want to gather as many Facebook Page likes as possible in the shortest possible time.  \u00a0By tricking people \u00a0into sharing and commenting on the \u00a0posts, the scammers ensure that their fraudulent material spreads rapidly across the network and is seen by a growing number of users. The Page will thus gather a great many new likes very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Page has gathered a large number of likes, it can be used to promote survey scams or other types of fraudulent activity, this time to a much larger audience. Alternatively, the Page can be sold on a very active black market to other scammers. The more likes a Page has, the more it can be sold for.<\/p>\n<p>The scammers have \u00a0managed to create a fake Page with a similar name to that of the star&#8217;s real Page by simply adding an extra &#8216;l&#8217; in her name (&#8216;Adelle, instead of &#8216;Adele&#8217;). Many users will not even notice this minor spelling difference and be convinced that they are on a genuine Adele Facebook Page.  \u00a0Note that the <a title=\"Adele Facebook Page\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/adele\">real Adele Facebook Page<\/a> features Facebook&#8217;s blue &#8216;verified&#8217; icon to prove its authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>Scammers often create fake Facebook Pages that claim to be \u00a0associated with celebrities. During 2015, &#8216;prize&#8217; posts \u00a0<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\">falsely claiming to be from \u00a0rapper 50 Cent<\/a> spread rapidly across Facebook. The posts, which came from a bogus 50 cent Facebook Page, claimed that the star was giving away millions of dollars in cash and prizes.<\/p>\n<p>Be wary of \u00a0any Page or post that claims that a celebrity is giving away cash or prizes in exchange for liking, sharing, and commenting.<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/fake-adele-facebook-page-is-a-like-farming-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/fake-adele-facebook-page-is-a-like-farming-scam\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline: Facebook Page claiming to be a new page from singer Adele, promises fans who like, share, and comment the chance to win a Samsung S7 phone.
