The Facebook page “Autohaus Mentrok GmbH & Co. KG” is not an official car dealership page.
Fake car dealership page: Facebook page creators repeatedly use third-party identities to organize alleged competitions. They give the impression that they are official Facebook pages of well-known companies or that they are celebrating the opening of a new car dealership.
This is also the case with this site, which is called “Autohaus Mentrok GmbH & Co. KG” and has only existed for a short time. The fraudsters are also not above misusing logos and names.
The prize offered is just a pretext - there is neither a proper imprint nor any other information about the organizer.
Data brings money
Unfortunately, the actual purpose of these sites is limited to one thing: collecting data, selling magazine subscriptions and sending spam emails!
Even if you take part and think to yourself “Oh, if I play along, it won’t hurt anyone” – data always brings money and these sites will continue to exist in the future. Facebook pages that deceive you and make money from your personal data. Even a mere like maintains this type of page and harms you and your Facebook friends.

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!
