Be careful of this scam! Fraudsters try to lure users to a dubious website using a fake Facebook profile with a familiar face.
It is not the first fake profile of its kind and yet tens of users follow the call when supposedly Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson promises a win. The user should follow a link that takes them to a website. Some films are listed here. You should be able to register and download films with just one click. If you scroll a little further down his Facebook timeline, he also promises the first 100 users $10,000.00 for everyone who likes, shares, comments and subscribes to his page.
It's about this Facebook profile:

The fact check
At the beginning of August, colleague Ralf on a fake profile under the name of Dwayne Johnson. Johnson is known to most people as an action actor. Many others also know him as WWE wrestler “The Rock”.
Even though it's safe to assume that he now has a hefty fortune, it's doubtful that he pays 100 users $10,000.00 each to follow a Facebook profile.
So what is this supposed to do for the user?
Nothing. For such account operators, the user is only a means to an end. And what good does it do for such account operators?
Money. Lot of money. Such accounts collect followers through actions like these and spread rapidly. In addition, the comments collect many gullible users , where the creators of such pages can be sure that they will also fall for completely different scams.
These sites are then often sold quite profitably on the Darknet, then change their name and description again, delete old postings and photos, and then often post links to phishing sites in order to be able to extract further data from the users, which is then sold for a profit can be.
If you scroll through the photos on the profile, you will notice that before 2018/2017 there are only entries in Malay.

The entries begin in 2010, but Dwayne Johnson's name has only been posted since 2018. The site may also have been sold.

How can I tell if it's a fake profile?
If anyone still believes in the authenticity of the account, we will give them three little tips.
1. Why would “The Rock” make a new account when he already has a verified Facebook account with a blue check mark?

If you take a closer look at the profile picture of “Thewayne J Dauglas”, you will also notice that the verification checkmark is only on the profile picture.
2. Do you seriously think Dwayne Johnson will give you links to illegal and expensive download portals so you can watch his new film?

And no, contrary to the description, that stream is not free, you have to take out an expensive membership after a few seconds of the film (it's unclear whether you'll actually get to see the film, but the illegal streamers already have your credit card details).
3. Even though Dwayne Johnson is certainly quite wealthy, he can't give away millions of dollars every day.
Result:
This profile can't possibly be run by the real Dwayne Johnson. Who gives away hundreds of thousands of dollars every day on movie download sites? Exactly, scammer. Be it data collection or similar goals. Here the user is taken for a fool.
