iGuRu.gr reveals to you one of the well-known scams that are set up on Facebook. The scammers, once again taking advantage of the public's sensitivity, created a page that currently has close to 10,000 members. From the page's statistics, it appears that its members are between 35-44 years old and most of them live in Attica.
We copied the following text from the page description.
By clicking "like", you actively contribute to our effort for a world without hunger.
We can all give hope to these children! A Like on our page brings smiles to all these souls who live every day hoping… How is this done: After our first donation to UNICEF, we decided to create a page with which to increase the traffic to our site, in order to increase our revenue. This will give us the opportunity to havesome profits, a significant part of which will be distributed to charitable institutions.
Of course, there is evidence for all of this, which is posted on our page... (see cover image)
Now, how can you help even more?
Simply by Like/share our page or by visiting our site for your daily information/entertainment.We don't want to make fun of anyone, we do this work because we like it, we offer something very small for ourselves where it has value..
The content of the website Like and Feed Hungry Children – Spread the Word includes reposts from UNICEF and of course has no connection to the organization. Of course, in addition to UNICEF's posts , which are deemed necessary to verify the humanitarian identity of the page, the scammers also publish various other news.
(The official website of UNICEF in Greece is here and through it you can go to their Facebook page.)
The misspelled text on the website is the first telltale sign that this is another hoax. Also, there is no mention of how the money will be paid. To prove to us that the money is being paid, they present a single image, stating:
Of course, there is evidence for all of this, which is posted on our page... (see cover image)
Of course, you don't feed any children with Likes. However, many likes on a Facebook page can certainly bring profit to its creator or creators who exploit them for advertising. For example, take a look at another supposed UNICEF Facebook page.
While it has nothing to do with the organization, it already has 3000 likes.
