These fraud social media posts are not from any genuine companies but from scammers. They may trick you to like, comment and share such posts so that they can get tons of followers on their social media pages. Once these scammers got enough number of followers on their social media pages, they will rename their social media pages and will sell to third parties as per the number of followers they have. Not only that, but they may also try to hack your personal information as far as possible.

They may ask you to click some link and submit the personal details on the fake website posing the real ones or call them or message/reply to them or take part in the questionnaire where they will trick you to submit your personal details. So, you should not follow any instructions provided in these posts or click any link or download anything (if provided any).

    Is this a scam? Cadbury will deliver hampers to everyone who comments before 20th January. The name of Nicola Hamilton is used again
