Ellen Degeneres Facebook Scam

There is a new like farming post circulating which pretends to be from US celebrity Ellen DeGeneres and promises a cash giveaway to those who like, share and comment. It uses actual photos and videos of DeGeneres but is a fake account. This fake profile is using names similar to Ellen De Generes, eg "Ellin DeGenerous" that are contacting people via Messenger or on group posts to claim the person targetted has won a prize. But, Ellen DeGeneres is in no way associated with these fake profiles nor with the fake giveaway.
