The "Perfect Homes Facebook Competition" below, which claims someone will have a chance to move into a brand new 3 bedroom home or win £150,000, appears to be a scam. This is because the home they have listed as the prize is currently up for sale in Northern Ireland. Also, this competition is suspicious because the Perfect Homes Facebook page was created yesterday, which makes the page less than 1 day old.

I do love when you report it to Facebook, and they say is fine, that it like farms, and potentially scams people's information who like and follow it. I appealed against it today, to be told it is fine that is a scam by fb as it doesn;t go against their community standards being false or a scam.
I also reported it - hate that fb will not remove things like this
I have reported loads of fake pages etc over the last couple of months but Facebook said none of them went against their Community Standards. Absolute rubbish!
My brother won this and put his bank details in help what do we do next
Someone I know personally had been told publicly they'd won this, seems alot of people are winning.. hmmm... I hope nobody is actually losing money..
What exactly did he put in?
