Dear Facebook users, WAKE UP! All these competitions for expensive cars that come from unofficial sites are nonsensical fakes. No, there is nothing to win in these competitions. No car, no voucher, no secretary.
One page, which is called “Lande Rover – Range Rover Auto Clubman”, tells its visitors the following fairy tale:
Dear friends, because of the anniversary, Land Rover will name three lucky fans on July 22nd to whom three beautiful 2016 Range Rovers will be raffled off.
To win you have to:
– – > Share this picture
– – > Like this picture
– – > Leave a comment (“White” or “Red”).All three steps are important for registration. If you want to win, you also have to like the page
Doesn't any of the participants have even the slightest doubt about the seriousness of these competitions?
What will probably happen:
The first wave usually only collects users. If there are enough likes and comments under the respective post, the “organizer” will change the participation conditions and a 3rd step added! This is called “ 3. COMPLETE PARTICIPATION ”, which now shows the true intention of the game. Users should take part in another competition where you have to enter YOUR DATA into a competition form, which will then be given to data traders.
Another dubious competition!
How do you as a user recognize competitions that are not serious?
For example, if you can't find any contact options or an imprint, you should pay attention. You should also always make sure that there are conditions of participation that show who is allowed to take part (age restrictions, country restrictions, etc.).
Such prizes are usually posted hourly on dubious competition sites. Reputable companies create competitions every now and then, but certainly not every hour.
Let's proceed selectively:
Owner of the site: Not available
Imprint: Not available
Contact option: Not available
Conditions of participation: Not available
Exemption from Facebook: Not available and
The prizes that users can win are always very high-quality and expensive prizes!
These competition pages always follow the same pattern: like, share, comment.
These are the three interactions with which a page achieves the most reach on Facebook without having to place paid advertising on Facebook. Of course there are competition guidelines issued by Facebook, but the creators of such pages are of little or no interest in these and Facebook itself does not react here either. There isn't even a separate reporting function/option that a user could use for this. From a legal point of view, these competitions do not run correctly either, as there are no conditions of participation, contact information or legal notice.
