Who wouldn’t want to win $1 million just for sharing a photo
on Facebook? That’s what over 500,000 people thought! Nolan Daniels posted a
photo on Facebook of him holding a Powerball ticket with the winning numbers.
He captioned the photo as,
“Looks like I won’t be going to work EVER! Share this photo
and I will give a random person 1 million dollars!”
You can imagine how many Facebook users jumped at the
thought of winning that money. Though this may seem like a great deal, the
photo displayed photo-shopped the winning numbers on the ticket. This scam is
sure to bring some angry Facebookers who believed the contest to be legitimate.
When you see photos such as this on Facebook, do you ‘share’
them in hopes of winning? Do you think they are legit? Or do you disregard the
photo?? I know personally I have seen several of my Facebook friends share this
photo. How do you react? Give us your thoughts!
Whenever there is ANYTHING about winning quick money i automatically disregard it. That includes online, bottlecaps, etc. Most times, it is a scam or way to get your email address to enter a contest which you most likely will not win. If it is something you can legitimately win on, it is probably a very small prize and you could have made more money by working at a job. Just not worth it to me to even pay attention to these things.
ReplyDeleteThis and other scams remind me of the chain texts that used to go around about someone killing you in the middle of the night if you didn't forward the text to 5 friends...I learned early that these are pointless and I disreagard them completely.
ReplyDeleteAt first I believed this was legit. I thought that if I had just won hundreds of millions I might throw around a million for a social media experiment.
