Rule of thumb: Large companies never just give away their products on Facebook. Never!
Actually a reason to be happy: all you have to do is share a small competition on Facebook and you'll get a pair of shoes from Adidas. But unfortunately it's not that easy, in this competition there is lying and cheating.
The starting point is a status message on Facebook that conveys a simple win: all you have to do is share a post to get shoes. The promise is: everyone gets shoes. All!

The promise alone sounds unbelievable, and the URL under the photo “Prices-HX” doesn’t exactly sound like Adidas either.

The further process of the fake Adidas competition
If you now click on the posting, you will also (surprise!) go to a page that does not belong to Adidas, and suddenly the free shoes are no longer available.

A trivial question game in which it doesn't matter at all how you answer (even if you've never bought Adidas, wouldn't recommend the brand and are under 18 years old) leads to the surprising realization that you're in for the competition qualified!
The horse's foot (horse lovers may forgive us for the expression): You first have to share the competition on Facebook, which then explains why you see this pseudo-competition so often on Facebook.

Sharing the competition only serves to spread it virally. The data is entered here under a misleading pretext: the linked page has no connection with the previous questions.
It is a commission program in which you pass on your own data to data traders . So here you were lured into a data trap.
