The “Audi R8-DE” page on Facebook

And again one of the countless dubious pages on Facebook that make promises of winnings that probably cannot be kept.

---

Here it says, among other things

The status contribution in the wording:

To mark the anniversary, Audi Germany will be giving away 2 fantastic Audi R8s to 2 fans, which will be announced on March 13th.
To win one of the Audi R8s, all you have to do is:

1.-“Share” this image
2.-“Like” this image
3.-“Comment” (“Black” or “White”)

All these steps are necessary to register
*Don't forget to like the page to be notified of the results.

Who is the organizer? Who is giving away such prizes here?

One does not know. The “About” of the page was not filled with information:

NOTE: There are/were several such AUDI R8 pages. However, some have disappeared again and been removed from Facebook!

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.

It's all nonsense - we say, but we're happy to be proven wrong!

Reason:

1. no imprint. Who are we dealing with here?
2. no terms of use or no conditions of participation. Who is actually allowed to take part in a competition here? (location, age, etc.)
3. Announcement of the winner. Where and how is a user contacted?
4. Where is the notice that the competitions are not connected to Facebook?

Cheap and illegal tricks!

Such competitions, in which you have to share the post in order to win, are very cheap and illegal tricks to win more fans for your page.
In 99.9% of cases, as we have described above, there is no real profit behind it!

Dear friends of brass music! Stop making fun of Facebook users!

Especially for you, the competition guidelines on Facebook!
