Supposedly, this is the second time in Facebook history that the company has organised such a giveaway. For a chance to win one of the three double wide trailer giveaways, claims the post, all you need to do is like the \u00a0Diamond Ring Facebook Page, share the promotional post, and add a comment listing \u00a0the city and state you live in. The post features photographs depicting one of the double wide trailers that is set to be given away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>However, the supposed giveaway is a scam.  \u00a0No double wide trailer &#8216;dream houses&#8217; are being given away and there are no winners other than the scammers who created the bogus Facebook Page. The purpose of the fake prize post is to accumulate large numbers of \u00a0likes for the \u00a0Diamond Ring Facebook Page as quickly as possible. By stipulating that participants must like the Page for a chance to win, the scammers know that their Page like-count will grow very rapidly. And, by also \u00a0instructing users to share and comment on the post, the scammers ensure that their Page is seen by \u00a0many more potential victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>After the Facebook Page has accumulated a great many new likes via the fraudulent giveaway, its unscrupulous owners can then use it to launch other cons \u00a0such as <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 considerably larger audience.  \u00a0Alternatively, the Page may be sold on the black market to other scammers who will subsequently repurpose it for their own requirements. The more likes a Facebook Page has, the more money it will likely command on the black market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Not surprisingly, the primary focus of the Diamond Ring Facebook page is  \u00a0&#8211; wait for it &#8211; diamond rings. It hosts a series of posts featuring diamond ring images stolen from other websites along with demands to like and share. There are also other fraudulent &#8216;giveaway&#8217; posts on the Page that claim that participants can win one of the pictured rings. The fake &#8216;dream house&#8217; giveaway is apparently an effort to gain the attention of a more diverse audience. And, like other scams of its ilk, the ruse certainly works. At the time of writing, the bogus prize post had \u00a0already been shared more than 382,000 times and attracted 185 thousand comments.<\/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. Be wary of any post or Facebook Page that claims that you can win valuable prizes just for liking, sharing, and commenting. Don&#8217;t be tempted to participate just in case the supposed giveaway is real. By doing so, you are aiding and abetting the nefarious activities of Facebook scammers. And, you are exposing your Facebook friends to the scam as well.<\/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: July 14, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: July 14, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
