Supposedly, by liking and sharing the post and adding the comment &#8216;Myer&#8217;, you \u00a0may win your ten crazy minutes during which you can take anything you want from the store. The post, which features an image of a Myer storefront, claims that winners will be announced on June 15th, 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>However, both the post and the Facebook Page that it originated from are fraudulent. The supposed promotion is not valid and is in no way associated with Myer. This is yet another Facebook scam designed to gather large numbers of likes and trick people into spamming their friends via shares and comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>After such a fraudulent \u00a0Facebook Page has gathered a large number of likes, it can then be used to launch <a title=\"What is a Facebook Survey Scam?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/what-is-a-survey-scam.shtml\">survey scams<\/a>, this time to a much larger pool of potential victims. Or, the now like-laden Page can be sold to other scammers who will use it to foster their own nefarious goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>The <a title=\"Myer Facebook Page\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/myer\/\">genuine Myer Facebook Page<\/a>, which is simply called &#8216;Myer&#8217; rather than &#8216;Myer Australia&#8217;  \u00a0features Facebook&#8217;s blue &#8216;verified&#8217; icon to prove its authenticity. Much of the material featured on the bogus Page has been stolen from the genuine Myer Facebook Page. The image used in the scam post is <a title=\"Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City\" href=\"http:\/\/vercon.net.au\/portfolio\/lakeside-joondalup-shopping-city\/\">stolen from other sources<\/a> and depicts a \u00a0Myer store in \u00a0Joondalup, Western Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p><a title=\"Facebook Like-Farming Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/like-farming-scams.shtml\">Like-farming scams<\/a> like this one are very common on Facebook.  \u00a0Be wary of any post that claims that you can win valuable prizes just by liking, sharing, and commenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><script src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" async=\"\"><\/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>\/\/ <![CDATA[\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n\/\/ ]]&gt;<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: June 2, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: June 2, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
