Dell Laptop Giveaway Facebook is a SCAM!

I get this email today telling me how I just need to join some awesome facebook group and I'll receive a FREE dell laptop!

Now I don't know about you, but a free Dell laptop just sounds WAY to good to be true, and so I decide to do some research into this nonsense!

First, may I point out to you the description of this facebook group.

Notice how he mentions that he works for an online company but doesn't give any hint to the companies name..

Now seriously people, if you worked for a company that decide to give away a truck load of dell laptops would you not use this opportunity to advertise your company as much as possible! I mean, you are an online company after all!

So.. no mention of companies name.. 1st warning flag.

Secondly, notice how they give you this list of instructions on how to enter.. It even requires you to copy javascript into your browser bar!!  >< seriously people, how stupid are you?!

Asking user to copy javascript into browser tab.. 2nd warning flag (and run like hell)

Thirdly, once you actually join the group (which I didn't) notice how they then ask you to click on some random link that takes you to a page that looks like something straight out of a Nigerian 411 phishing book!


Again, notice the lack of Company branding, or any form of professional web-design!
You would expect a company that is giving away 1000's of laptops to at least have enough cash to make their competition page look semi-attractive!

Right, now a word to the 27,234 members who have already joined, and who are sending me emails to join!
YOU... HAVE... BEEN....SCAMMED!! PLUS! Dell SUCKS!><


If you really thought you were going to get a laptop that easily then I really do feel for you and your one tiny brain-cell..

Right...
Rant over..
Time to work!
