The Facebook page “MediaMarkt – Lugner City” is not an official company page.

A fake competition on the website “MediaMarkt – Lugner City” tempts you to win Segways. 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 they are celebrating a new opening or that the goods were incorrectly packaged.

The site claims to be MediaMarkt and has only existed since November 11, 2020. There is neither an imprint nor any other information about the organizer other than an alleged address.

To participate, you must share the corresponding Facebook post and comment with the term “Segway”. Participants will then receive a private message in which they should follow a link. This leads to the supposed competition.

However, anyone who takes part should definitely read the small print, because every “new customer”, i.e. participant, automatically takes out a subscription, which ends expensively after four days.

In the end it's about your personal data and 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 friends.

Note : Competitions regularly appear on Facebook and captivate 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 Facebook pages repeatedly claim to be giving away expensive kitchen appliances, campers or cars. Finding testers for a brand is also a popular way to attract users. This scam is not new .

Further information about such competitions can be found in our article “This is how fake competitions on Facebook work!" before.
