A new Facebook promises 10 Lamborghinis. Yes, you read that right, that many. There are many Lamborghini pages on Facebook set up by fans of the famous car brand. But there are some that are simply designed to trick users of the social network.
The latest scam detected by Hoax Slayer states that a Facebook page called “Lamborghini” has the following instructions:
“We are giving away 10 Lamborghinis. on April 5, 2014.
The lucky winners will be announced on April 5.
Step 1) Like this post.
Step 2) Comment which color you want.
Step 3) Share it on your wall.
Good luck everyone!”

As with all other similar scams, no one wins anything, let alone a Lamborghini. The scammers hope to convince their victims to spread the scam in order to increase the number of likes on their page. A Facebook page with a large number of likes can be worth a lot in the underground markets of the Internet because it can be reconfigured accordingly and advertised quite a lot of the types of products and services that are aimed at distributing malware.
This page appears to have been closed by Facebook.(*)
