This Facebook page is deceiving all “Off to vacation” fans!
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”.
According to the Facebook page “Off to vacation” they are giving away on the occasion of a “new opening, 7 nights for 4 people including flights in a 5 star water villa” :
The point alone - participants must share the post in order to take part in the competition - violates Facebook's guidelines (Promotions section) .
Let's take a closer look at the competition:
Analysis of this competition
Page info
You will often find no address or telephone number in the info on such sites. If the addresses are specified, you can use Google Maps to check whether they even exist and whether, for example, there really is a car dealership there or whether it is a residential area.
In the case of “ Off on Vacation ” there is no information from the alleged organizer or site operator.
In addition, this page has only been around since May 25, 2019:
Cover photo and other photos
Especially for Facebook pages that claim to represent a car dealership, it is worth looking for the cover photo or other photos online. Often the site operator stole the photo and added a new logo.
Even supposed winning photos are often stolen!
The holiday photos shown could come from the real Facebook page of “Off to Holiday” . Here you can also find the information that you miss from the fake competition organizer: the blue verification tick, which is in the right place (behind the page name and not integrated into the profile picture!), imprint and information about the company.
The real site has existed since October 6th, 2010.
Result:
The operators deceive all participants! This competition is a fake competition.
