&#8220;Complete Entry&#8221; button, you will be taken to one of several dodgy competition websites that ask you to provide your name and contact details, ostensibly so that you can go in the draw for further prizes.<\/p>\n<p>But, alas, the fake Facebook Page has no New York trips to give away and you have no chance whatsoever of winning the promised holiday.<\/p>\n<p>By first getting you to like, share, and comment, the scammers ensure that their fraudulent giveaway posts spread rapidly across Facebook and are seen by an increasing number of potential victims.<\/p>\n<p><script async

victims enter their \u00a0personal details on one of the prize websites. The information that victims provide will be shared with &#8220;site sponsors&#8221; and unscrupulous marketing companies.<\/p>\n<p>So, after participating, victims will soon be inundated with phone calls, text messages, emails, and letters promoting a variety of suspect products and services.<\/p>\n<p>Fake prize scams are very common on Facebook. This one tends to be a little more sophisticated than many other versions. The use of private messages may make the scam attempt seem more legitimate to some users.<\/p>\n<p>Victims may not initially realise that the private messages are entirely automated and may thus \u00a0believe that they are having a personal conversation with a Page admin. \u00a0 By establishing what appears to be a personalised dialogue with victims, \u00a0 the scammers may be more likely to convince them to follow instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, if victims respond to the private messages, the scammers know that they are \u00a0potentially vulnerable to further fraudulent messages. In a sense, the private messages have established a direct relationship with the potential victim. The scammers can exploit this illusion of a relationship by \u00a0directly targeting victims via advance fee scams or other types of fraud.<\/p>\n<p>Be wary of any Facebook Page or post that promises the chance to win expensive prizes such as holidays, air travel, cars, or cruises just for liking, sharing, and commenting.<\/p>\n<h2>More Information:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/win-a-luxury-shopping-trip-to-new-york-facebook-scam\/\">&#8216;Win a Shopping Trip to New York&#8217; Facebook Scam<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/how-to-recognize-facebook-prize-and-giveaway-scams\/\">How to Recognize Facebook Prize and Giveaway Scams<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/what-is-a-facebook-survey-scam\/\">Facebook Survey Scams \u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/facebook-like-farming-scams\/\">Facebook Like-Farming Scam \u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/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>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/win-trip-new-york-facebook-like-farming-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/win-trip-new-york-facebook-like-farming-scam\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fraudulent Facebook Page that calls itself The New York Experience \u00a0continues to dupe unwary Facebook users into promoting fake New York holiday prizes and divulging their \u00a0personal information on suspect websites. \u00a0 Here&#8217;s a screenshot of the initial scam post: If you like and share as instructed and then add the comment &#8220;New York&#8221;, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6890,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hoax-inggris"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syyhoaxanalyzer.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
