The Facebook page “Edeka – ” is supposedly giving away e-bikes. However, the site is not an official Edeka site.
Fake Edeka page: No information about who the organizer is, the page hasn't been around long, dubious article links... mostly it's just about one thing: collecting data to sell magazine subscriptions and send spam emails!
Fraudsters are not afraid to misuse logos and names. The competition takes place on a fake “EDEKA” Facebook page, but the real and verified EDEKA page on Facebook can be found here (without such a competition).
Note: Competitions regularly appear on Facebook and captivate Facebook users. They hope for a really big win but in the end they come away empty-handed. In these cases, only the site operator “wins”. We check competitions for their seriousness! This competition is not serious and deceives the participants. It doesn't meet Facebook's criteria and uses fake elements!

Fake competitions and commercial fake news in comparison!
Links to very realistic fake news appear again and again on social media, but also in emails or as cleverly placed advertising banners. Not all fake news is the same. We are dealing with a very rough term that covers (too) many facets and is much more of a catch-all term than a precise categorization.
In this article we will look at a particular phenomenon that appears frequently but is not always immediately recognized: commercial fake news with pseudo-journalistic content.
This form of false news is deliberately false content that is intended to persuade people on the Internet to buy a product, take out a subscription or invest money in speculative models.
