Bicycle for free? The simplest method of fraud is still a great check – Onet.pl

It would seem that after years of fraud “farms lajków” Polish internet wyrobili habit, though a cursory check in every click. Unfortunately, the facts deny this.

Post published by the community, “Bike Shop RED BIKE” to fit with socio-technical point of view, the way indicates that a store is giving away bikes. Colloquial truth that nothing is for free, rationalizing explanation that bicycles have scrapes. Polub, share a post on your website and wait for the message about winning. Enough?

For fifty thousand Polish Internet users was enough – enough points counter-shared, likes hand, is much less – probably some of the orientation that is a mere hoax “odlajkowali side.”

Next step crooks behind the scam is a publication of the post of congratulations – people who have recently polubiły page probably see it after some time post is removed, and after a moment arise again – with a link supposedly pointing profile winners, in fact, leading to the profile page own profile. Now the “winner” can click on the next link in order to claim their prize, this is already crafted on site trying to persuade to send a text message to 92590 with the content of ag.bike.

Non Hazardous scam? summarize

– seemingly nothing costing users’ Laiki “and provide a really free advertising – post impostor spreads” wiralowo “in search of new victims. The vast majority of these types of scams misses any audience, and only a few “grab” and spread on a large scale

– farm fans, while a party is not permanently locked by administrators Facebook, its creators can clean it with content and sell

– on a crafted website is no shortage of advertising that anyone who does will, can click – to talk about profits is required, of course, economies of scale (which can provide gullible Internet users)

– there is no doubt that when it comes to sending SMS, for most people reach now that something is wrong. How many of those who have provided first post and then went to a malicious page can be fooled by SMS for more than 30 zł?

About what actually gaining by this type of scam, known only to himself, we can only start from the assumption that the dealings would not exist if it was not cost-effective.
