There's probably a higher percentage of gullible people on Facebook so if you're into scamming why not target them.

@MI5 As us educated ones know how to spot them but 2 people I know have shared and liked it etc

Facebook without doubt is the place to find victims.

@Beenherebefore Agreed but we see many posts re premium rate sms charges that they do not know how they got them and this is the classic type of scam to get them to give up the details needed

So many more of these type of posts popping up i.e....'Like and Share this for a chance of winning (insert whatever they are pretending to 'give away') If 500,000 folk do this...look at the free advertising they get ...

Pffftttt...
