Supposedly, if you win, you can take anything you want \u00a0from the store during your &#8216;crazy&#8217; ten minutes. To win, claims the message, all you need to do is like and share the post, add the comment &#8216;Crazy&#8217;, and then click a &#8216;Join here&#8217; link.<\/p>\n<p>The post comes from a Facebook Page \u00a0called &#8216;JB Hi-Fi &#8211; Australia&#8217; and includes the JB Hi-Fi logo and a photograph depicting a \u00a0JB Hi-Fi storefront.<\/p>\n<p>However, the post and Facebook Page are fraudulent and are \u00a0in \u00a0no way associated with JB Hi-Fi. The promised prize does not exist and there will be no \u00a0winners. \u00a0The post is a typical Facebook scam designed to trick you into supplying your personal information on suspect \u00a0websites.<\/p>\n<p>The genuine JB Hi-Fi Facebook Page is \u00a0warning people about the scam, <a title=\"JB Hi-Fi Scam Warning Post\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JBHiFi\/photos\/a.214773761888730.57140.110323122333795\/1186703894695707\/?type=3&amp;theater\">noting in part<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Yes, we are well aware if the current fake page doing the rounds.

By entering your mobile phone number, you may be inadvertently subscribing to a very expensive SMS service that will charge you several dollars for every text they send you. Or, your information may be shared with third-party marketing firms who will subsequently bombard you with unwanted phone calls, emails, text messages, and surface \u00a0letters that attempt to sell you all manner of products and services that you most likely neither want nor need.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the scammers who created the fake JB Hi-Fi Page will earn commissions each time somebody supplies information on one of the suspect survey websites.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"What is a Facebook Survey Scam?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/what-is-a-survey-scam.shtml\">Facebook survey scams<\/a> like this one are very common.
