Also, the promotion has a link to a website that promises an IPhone 5c, if you complete a certain amount of online surveys. You will not receive an "Apple IPhone 5c" after completing the surveys. The aim of the scammers behind this promotion is to get as many Facebook users as possible to "like" and share this fake IPhone 5c promotional Facebook page and to make money from the surveys that are completed by their victims.

I had started an event on Facebook to take down some of these pages last year at:
https://www.facebook.com/events/ 138905589592265/ 141944795955011
It was very successful.
They are not just getting paid for surveys and recruiting people, they are stealing people's identities through several means. They are gaining people's personal information from the surveys. They are also infecting people's computers when they are sharing the pictures. Take a look at my Facebook page to learn more.
