You’re not getting a free gift card
The newest Facebook scam that has popped up are groups and fan pages that say "The first 1,000 / 5,000 people to join get a free gift card." Usually the amount of the gift card is in the thousands of dollars and for some reason, people continue to be stupid enough to fall for them. This is how your information gets stolen or your account gets hacked.
Seriously do the math. If a page offers the first 5,000 fans a $1,000 gift card, that's a $5 million investment. Think about it ... if a company can choose between spending $5 million on PPC/Display/TV/Print ads and reach millions of people or $5 million on trying to get a few thousand fans ... what would they choose?
If it sounds to good to be true, then guess what? It is.
