The Facebook post and page: "For the FIRST time in facebook history we are giving away 2 Range Rovers to two winners that we will select on December 22 completely at random," is a Facebook like-farming scam. The scam will attempt to trick you into commenting on,liking it, sharing it and completing surveys, by claiming that you have a chance of receiving one of the two Range Rover SUVs that are being given away.
But, the Facebook post and page are a fake and are not associated with Range Rover or Land Rover who makes the SUVs. It is only a scam to get Facebook users to comment on, "like" or share in order to spread the same scam to other Facebook users.
