The post, which features an image depicting a stack of iPhones on a table, claims \u00a0that winners will be \u00a0messaged ( or massaged ) by &#8220;Fabuary \u00a09th&#8221;.  \u00a0The post comes from \u00a0a Facebook Page with the name &#8220;OFW giveaways&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>But, in fact, the Post and the Facebook Page that generated it are fraudulent. The Page is not giving away iPhones as claimed and is in no way associated with Apple.<\/p>\n<p>The fake giveaway is designed to promote the bogus Facebook Page far and wide by tricking people into liking, sharing, and commenting. When \u00a0people \u00a0like and share the post and add the &#8220;colour&#8221; comment, \u00a0they are helping to spread the scam across Facebook. Their Facebook friends will see the post and many may also decide to participate, thus spreading the scam even further. And many of those who participate will also like the scam Facebook \u00a0Page as well.<\/p>\n<p>The fake Page will thus gain a great many new likes and can later 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> \u00a0or other types of fraudulent activity, this time to a considerably larger potential audience. Or, in some cases, the Page may be sold on the black market to other scammers who will use it to launch their own scam or spam campaigns.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Facebook Like-Farming Scams\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/like-farming-scams.shtml\">Scam Facebook giveaways<\/a> like this one are <a title=\"Yet Another iPhone Giveaway Like-Farming Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/yet-another-iphone-giveaway-like-farming-scam\/\">very common<\/a>.
