The newly created Page features the Woolworths logo as its Profile image.<\/p>\n<p>However,  \u00a0the Page is fraudulent and has no connection whatsoever with the Australian supermarket giant. No vouchers are being given away. In fact, the Facebook page is a <a title=\"Facebook Like-Farming Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/like-farming-scams.shtml\">scam<\/a> designed to collect as many likes \u00a0as possible in the shortest possible time. By \u00a0tricking people into liking, sharing and commenting on the fraudulent prize post, the scammers ensure that their fake page will be extensively promoted across the network and they will gain a great many new Page likes very quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Once the fake Facebook Page \u00a0has \u00a0gathered a large number of likes, it can then be used to distribute <a title=\"What is a Facebook Survey Scam?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/what-is-a-survey-scam.shtml\">survey scams<\/a> or other types of scam posts, this time to a considerably larger potential audience. Or, the Page may be sold on the black market to other scammers who will repurpose it to suit their own nefarious goals.<\/p>\n<p>Like-farming scams like this one are extremely common on Facebook. New versions appear every day. Be wary of any Facebook post or Page that claims that you can win valuable prizes such as store vouchers, gift cards, cars, airline tickets, or vacations just by liking and sharing.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the <a title=\"Woolworths Facebook Page\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/woolworths\/\">genuine Woolworths Facebook Page<\/a> features Facebook&#8217;s blue &#8216;verified&#8217; icon beside its name.<\/p>\n<p>\n<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>\n<p class=\"date\">Last updated: \u00a0March 30, 2016<br \/>\nFirst published: \u00a0March 30, 2016<br \/>\nBy Brett M.
