The promotional posts feature photographs of large wads of cash in Australian dollars.<\/p>\n<p>But, there are no prizes and no winners. The Page is just one more in a long line of \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/facebook-like-farming-scams\/\">like-farming scams<\/a>. The primary purpose of this bogus Page is to accumulate as many likes as possible. Facebook Pages with high numbers of likes can later be reused to perpetrate further scams or promote dubious products or services to a now greatly inflated audience. Sometimes, the Pages are sold via a thriving black market to other criminals. The piles of cash featured in the posts on the Page are certainly not prizes as claimed. In fact, the images \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Drug operation targets trafficking in Brisbane's bayside\" href=\"http:\/\/mypolice.qld.gov.au\/blog\/2013\/12\/23\/drug-operation-targets-trafficking-brisbanes-bayside\/\">depict cash seized<\/a> \u00a0in various police raids in Australia.

Thankfully, it appears that the fake missing persons page has at long last disappeared from Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>If this Page or one of its fake posts comes your way, do not like, share, or comment on it. Users sometimes like such material &#8216;just in case&#8217; it is true. However, by doing so, they are not only aiding and abetting criminals, they are exposing their friends and families to the scams. The best way to combat these scammers is simply to never interact with their Pages in any way whatsoever. And let your friends know that such Pages are scams so that they can avoid interacting as well.<\/p>\n<p>Although Facebook&#8217;s response to these scams has been decidedly poor, to say the least, it is still worth reporting them. Some like-farming Pages are actually removed due to reporting.<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/like-farming-scam-australian-cash-and-prize-giveaways-facebook-page\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/like-farming-scam-australian-cash-and-prize-giveaways-facebook-page\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline Facebook Page that calls itself &#8216;Australian Cash and Prize Giveaways&#8217; promises large cash prizes to people who like a promotional image and like the Page. \u00a0 Brief Analysis The Page is a scam designed to accumulate likes under false pretences.
