Three scams doing the rounds on Facebook to beware of.
« on: October 25, 2015, 14:16:44 PM »
Three scams just now on Facebook.  Get a £75 Voucher from Lidls by just clicking into the link and sharing, also similiar one from Tesco.  No £75 vouchers, but you will get lots spamming mail.
Third one and the most serious.  Win a trip to Disneyland...Once you click into it, you will be asked for all your personal details.  There is no trip to win.  :( >:(

There's one going round on Facebook this afternoon.

It appears to be a link to a breaking news story that Elton John has been killed in a road accident. By clicking on the link you'll be taken to a site that will infect your computer with a virus.

I had message on F.B. from the Winehouse this morning a member of that group had shared the Lidl £75.00 scam!!  One of my facebook friends (a single parent) shared the Disney scam today, but told me that she shared first, then when she went to site it asked for all her personal details, so she clicked out of it.  So, perhaps a lot of people share and then realise it is a scam??
