The Facebook page “REWE Deutschland” published a competition with a campervan as the main prize. It's just stupid: the site is fake!
The fact check on the fake REWE Germany page on Facebook: There is no information about who the organizer is. The site is not verified and there is no owner information. The links in the competition are anything but transparent. Be careful with such competitions, as they usually lead to data collector competitions or unwanted subscriptions.
In this competition too, fraudsters are not afraid to misuse company names and logos. The competition takes place on a fake “REWE” Facebook page. The real and verified REWE page on Facebook can be found here .

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!

Fake competitions are fake news!
Links to very realistic fake news appear again and again on social media, but also in emails or as cleverly placed advertising banners. Not all fake news is the same. We are dealing with a very rough term that covers (too) many facets and is much more of a catch-all term than a precise categorization.
In this article we will look at a particular phenomenon that appears frequently but is not always immediately recognized: commercial fake news with pseudo-journalistic content.
This form of false news is deliberately false content that is intended to persuade people on the Internet to buy a product, take out a subscription or invest money in speculative models.
