The Facebook page “McDonald's-Germany” is not an official McDonald's page and lures users with alleged profit.
We recently reported on a McDonald's Austria Facebook page that lured unsuspecting users into a trap. Now two false “McDonald's Germany” pages have appeared on Facebook.
The Facebook page "McDonald's-Germany" is supposedly giving away a year's supply from "your" local McDonald's. However, this is a fake site in the name of McDonalds. 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 that have products to give away out of the blue.
This is this competition, which is published by the creators but then deactivated again (for whatever reason).

However, the competition is just an excuse. The site also offers neither a proper imprint nor any other information about the organizer. The site has existed since January 12, 2020 and the only thing this site has to offer is a competition!
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.
