Apple iPhone 5c Giveaway Promotional Scam

The IPhone 5c Giveaway promotion below is bogus. This fake promotion promises an IPhone 5c after sharing and "liking" it on Facebook. 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.
