Facebook Free MacBook Pro Giveaway Scam

One of the newest scams online has taken over Facebook. This scam offers you a Free Macbook Pro or Free iPhone 5 claiming just a few simple steps to claim one of many free MacBook Pros and iPhone 5s. These posts are usually accompanied with a photo showing boxes of Macbook Pros or boxed iPhone 5s. There have been many different versions of this scam popping up, however, the most common is using MacBook laptops or iPhone 5s.

How The iPhone 5 & MacBook Scam Works:

There are two versions of this scam. One version has you like the photo and share the photo. The idea is to get the most exposure for their scam. The scammers are hoping that you will end up liking their Facebook page allowing them to then fill your wall with additional scams.

The other version that is very popular is having your Like and Share the photo as well as visit a website to choose which one you would like to receive. This website takes you to what looks to be a Facebook authorization page that asks you to fill out a survey to enter for your chance to win. These “surveys” are simply advertisements that the scammers get paid for you filling out. There is no entry and no prize to be won. See the screen shots below:
