5000 Facebook credits for FREE.

Take a quick minute to check out the picture by clicking on it. It will open in a new window

This showed up as an event invite sent to me by someone on my friends list (who obviously has NOT read my blog!) This scam disappoints me because of how generic it is and for once I can see how many people are falling for it.. 6,382 people RSVP'd yes. To me that shows 6,382 people who are possibly falling for this and will click on the link. Now i'm sure not all 6,382 people will fill out the first survey they come across, but most will.... But how many will fill out the 2nd, or the 3rd, or the 4th? How much money will the scammers make off of these unsuspecting people?

On a positive note, 13,154 people said no.

Now, lets pick it apart. We've obviously seen this type of scam a million times and know why its a fake but for new readers sake.. Lets have some fun..

1. If Facebook was going to give away something they would, they would NOT require you to be invited to an event nor would they make you fill out surveys to give you this "reward"
2. Facebook SELLS these credits, they make money off of us this way to keep their site up and running, why would they give it away for free? 5000 of them? I doubt it.
3. Theres that shortened address again that you cant hover over to find out where it would take you.
4. There is no wall for guests to write on to let you know if its legit or not, why? CAUSE ITS NOT!
5. Now what happens if you click on the link. They just want you to fill out one teeny tiny survey and then you can claim your points.. one turns into two, two turns into five.. Yeah you wont see those credits. Before you get to this point though, they ask that you click attend (which just gives them a "sucker" headcount) and you have to share it to your friends, basically getting them more suckers to take their surveys for them and they make money off you and your friends and you will never receive those credits.

Now, I just went back and checked the page and the 6,382 people that are attending has turned into 6,562. Please pass this on to your friends for them to read, or simply post something on your wall when you notice a scam like this. Help educate your friends!
