Note: When this promotion started internet fraudsters derived a means of
rip off by contacting Facebook users randomly, make them believe they are
Facebook employees and defrauding them of huge amounts of money. After so
many reports and complaints from our users that fell victim of the scams,
we decided to publish all the scam messages all over the internet and on
search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo search and more. You will find lots
of Facebook scams messages we posted there just to protect winners like
you. These fraudsters went as far as hacking into the database of Facebook
to steal information of our employees to use it for their scams then we
decided to stop advertisements of this promotion on the site for the main
time while it runs with private policies that is why you can’t find any
advertisement of this ongoing promotion on the Facebook site now.
Thanks and more Congratulations!
