So, if you sign up, you will be providing your credit card numbers and other personal data to a highly suspect company that uses deliberately deceptive tactics to promote its services. These dodgy video \u00a0streaming outfits should not be trusted with your credit card details or any other personal information.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook scammers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/tag\/celebrity-giveaway\/\">use the names of many high-profile celebrities<\/a> as well as Oprah. \u00a0 If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/celebrity-giveaway-scams-continue-to-target-facebook-users\/\">one of these posts hits your \u00a0News Feed<\/a>, don&#8217;t be tempted to participate. The giveaway post is not really from the celebrity it names, and you have no chance of winning any of the promised prizes. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async
