Note that the full stop is part of the name. \u00a0 \u00a0At the \u00a0time of writing, the Page has \u00a0only one post \u00a0(shown above) that advises you to click to enter for a chance to win. The Page features the Disney \u00a0Cruise Line logo as its profile image.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Facebook Page has no connection to \u00a0Disney \u00a0Cruise Line and it is not giving away the promised cruise prize. In fact, the Page is a scam that tries to trick you \u00a0into subscribing to expensive SMS services or calling a premium phone number that will charge you several dollars per minute.<\/p>\n<p>If you click the fake prize post, you will be taken to a a webpage that has \u00a0been built to look like it is part of Facebook (see second screenshot above). The page first asks if you are a resident of the \u00a0United States.<\/p>\n<p>If you click \u00a0&#8216;yes&#8217;, you will be taken to \u00a0 \u00a0a third-party website that first asks for your name and phone number and then \u00a0instructs you to call a premium rate phone number for a chance to win various prizes. You can earn points by calling the premium rate number and answering as many questions as possible. However, you will be charged several dollars for every \u00a0minute \u00a0that you stay on the prize line.<\/p>\n<p>If you click &#8216;no&#8217; you will be taken to a third-party website that promises access to various HTML5 games in exchange \u00a0for supplying your mobile phone number. However, if you do supply your phone number and then enter the PIN that is sent to your number, you will in fact be subscribing to an ongoing SMS service that will charge you several dollars each time it \u00a0sends you a message.<\/p>\n<p>And, neither \u00a0of these third-party sites will ever give you the chance to win the promised Disney Cruise. The fraudsters who create the fake Facebook Page will earn \u00a0commissions each time somebody participates on one of the third-party sites.<\/p>\n<p>The bogus \u00a0webpage \u00a0also asks UK residents to click a separate link. The link opens another fraudulent &#8216;cruise&#8217; Facebook Page aimed specifically at UK residents.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the <a title=\"Disney Cruise Line - Facebook Page\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DisneyCruiseLine\/\">genuine Facebook Page for Disney cruises<\/a> is called &#8216;Disney Cruise Line&#8217;  \u00a0not &#8216;Disney Cruises.&#8217; and features \u00a0Facebook&#8217;s blue &#8216;Verified&#8217; icon. Scammers often create fake Facebook Pages with names that include punctuation marks \u00a0such as full stops. This ruse allows them to create Pages with names very similar to the Facebook Page of the \u00a0company that they are targeting.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Disney Still A Favourite Target for Facebook Scammers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/disney-favourite-target-facebook-scammers.shtml\">Disney is regularly targeted<\/a> in Facebook like-farming and survey scams. \u00a0 \u00a0Be very cautious \u00a0of any Facebook Page or post that claims to be associated with Disney and offers expensive Disney prizes in exchange for liking and sharing or participating in surveys.<\/p>\n<p>Official Disney Facebook Pages will likely feature Facebook&#8217;s &#8216;verified&#8217; icon beside their Page names.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: April 4, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: April 4, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
