"Marlboro is Giving FREE Carton of Cigarettes to Celebrate 100th Anniversary" Scam

Marlboro is Giving FREE Carton of Cigarettes to Celebrate 100th Anniversary Scam

The Facebook post "Marlboro is Giving FREE Carton of Cigarettes to celebrate 100th Anniversary," is a scam. The scam will try to trick you into sharing it by claiming that you can receive your free carton of cigarettes. But, the website is fraudulent, is not giving away free cases of Marlboro cigarettes, and is NOT associated with Marlboro. The post and website are only a scam to get you to comment on, "like" or share the same Facebook post and website.

If you have received the same post on your Facebook Wall or Timeline, please report it to Facebook or delete it. And, do not visit the fraudulent website: "marlboro.com-dfd.xyz," that was created by scammers. The scammers behind the give-away scam will change the name of the website, so look out for the same scam on different websites.

Scammers earn money when they make a website or Facebook page popular and are able to sell it to the highest bidder, along with the names and other public information of the persons who liked or shared the scam.

    hI, my name is Dorothy Moreira. I was on Facebook and they told me I won a case of Marlboro but it never asked me for my address ZIP code; so I was wondering if this is a spam.

      Yes, it is a scam.

      Stop thinking you will get anything for free from a facebook post.

        well said, completely right.

      Liking the scam will not put your phone at risk. It will only spread the scam to your Facebook friends, and will allow cybercriminals to send you malicious and phishing links, in an attempt to infect your mobile device with malware and steal your personal information, financial information, and accounts credentials.

      Please remove your "like" from the scam and be careful next time.

        Even if Marlboro gave away one pack per person they would lose billions. Let alone FIVE cartons? Come on, man.

    Hi, what's the catch to it?

    • November 10, 2015 at 4:33 PM by info

      The catch is to, trick you into sharing the same scam, and then trick you into completing surveys. The scammers earn money from each completed survey. So, they will make thousands, if they are able to trick a lot of people into doing the surveys, thinking they will receive free cartons of Marlboro cigarettes. The people on the other hand, who have worked hard to complete the surveys, will not receive the cigarettes they were promised.

    Getting LIKEs and many shares isn't the only goal. They embed malicious content on the page. The person clicks the link, boom the critter goes right into the machine and takes over. Not just losing your Facebook account to a hacker who could change the password and lock you out, gaining a new spambot to attack your friends groups and pages, but worse. It goes mining in your machine for credit card info, key loggers grab numbers, password steal Trojans wreak total havoc, your bank can get wiped out if you bank online and even your identity can be stolen.
