The post \u00a0features an image depicting several Marks &amp; Spencer gift vouchers and urges you to click to grab your voucher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>However, the post has no connection to Marks &amp; Spencer and those who participate will never receive the promised voucher.  \u00a0In fact, the post is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/what-is-a-survey-scam.shtml\">typical Facebook survey scam<\/a> designed to trick you into divulging personal details on suspect survey websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>If you click the post in the hope of getting a voucher, you will be taken to a fraudulent &#8220;claim&#8221; webpage \u00a0built to look like it is part of Facebook.  \u00a0The webpage \u00a0instructs you to firstly share the page on Facebook and then send a link to the scam page to 5 Facebook Groups you \u00a0belong to. Of course, following these &#8220;two simple steps&#8221;  \u00a0turns you into a spammer for the fraudsters operating the fake giveaway and can potentially expose your friends and fellow group members to the same scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>And, even after you spam your friends as requested, you will still not get the promised voucher.  \u00a0Instead, when you click the &#8220;claim your voucher&#8221; button, you will be taken to a second fraudulent webpage that appears to host a claim form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>However, the claim form will be obscured by a popup window that tells you that you must complete a verification by participating in a survey.  \u00a0The popup includes links to several available surveys. \u00a0The links open various \u00a0survey websites that use the promise of \u00a0further prizes to get you to \u00a0supply your \u00a0name, email address, home address and other personal information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>But, fine print on the sites will state \u00a0that, by supplying your information, you are giving permission for it \u00a0to be shared with site sponsors and third-party marketers. So,  \u00a0soon after participating, you will likely \u00a0start receiving annoying phone calls, emails, and surface letters from companies trying to get you to buy various products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>And, the scammers who created the bogus Marks &amp; Spencer promotion \u00a0will earn commissions each time somebody provides their information via one of the survey websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Such scam attempts continue to be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/facebook-survey-scam-list.shtml\">very common on Facebook<\/a>.  \u00a0The scammers use the names of many well-known companies to trick people into participating. You should be \u00a0very cautious \u00a0of any Facebook post that claims that you can get store vouchers \u00a0or win valuable \u00a0prizes just by sharing, liking, and filling in surveys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\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\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/marks-spencer-scam-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"206\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/free-marks-spencer-voucher-facebook-survey-scam\/marks-spencer-scam-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/marks-spencer-scam-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,620\" 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=\"marks-spencer-scam-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/marks-spencer-scam-2-300x233.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/marks-spencer-scam-2.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-206\" src=\"https:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/marks-spencer-scam-2.jpg\" alt=\"Marks and Spencer Scam Page\" width=\"800\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/marks-spencer-scam-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/marks-spencer-scam-2-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/marks-spencer-scam-2-258x200.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: September 8, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: November 9, 2015<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
