There are some very sophisticated Facebook bots. And what they will do is they will scan Facebook and they will look now, and they will target giveaways, and they will target the popular giveaways. And what they will do is the program is designed to rip, scam, and duplicate the Facebook page that has got the attention, and it will use this new page that's been ripped and duplicated and set up to be a scam to reach out to the people that are entering the giveaway. And what they're looking to do is they're asking basically for the person that they've messaged to pay one night's deposit or put some money down on a credit card to then redeem their price. And what they're obviously doing is they are scamming that random person out of money when there's no price to be redeemed.
