The website: www.JohnAndLisaGiveBack.com, which claims the Powerball winners, John Robinson and his wife Lisa from Mumford, are giving back some of their lottery winnings to some lucky random Facebook users, if the Facebook users invite 2 friends to share the same fraudulent website with, is a scam. The fake website was created by cyber-criminals to trick potential victims into "liking," sharing or commenting on the fake post or website, which will only help spread the scams to other Facebook users and make it popular.
