The Facebook post and website below: "Get a Nordstrom $200 Gift Card," are a Facebook like-farming and survey scam. The scam will attempt to trick Facebook users into clicking on it by claiming that they can receive a $200 Gift Card at the website: "www.nordstrom.egiftcards. co" as part of Nordstrom Valentine's Day giveaway.
