Here is an excellent example:
Where to begin?
This Facebook page, created on Friday, is called "Ford Focus 4x4" - that's not even a recognised phrase in the world of Ford.
Then they actually name A CHILD who has allegedly fraudulently won the car in a competition.
Then they claim it is a brand new Ford Focus when it is on a '68 plate - the '69s have been out for two months now much to my amusement. And we had the '19s in between. Turns out it was first registered on October 30th last year. It really is an ST-Line X though!
They've changed the deadline time too - it said 1pm when I saw it this morning.
The annoying thing is that this has had 43000 comments and 52000 shares - plus 22000 "reactions". Only 350 of those reactions are the Ha-Ha reaction for those who have seen through it - which means that there are a hell of a lot of people out there who have been fooled.
And looking at the comments, they really have been fooled. Including those who are trying to fool the foolers - "Winning this would really help us as we don't have a reliable car to get my disabled daughter's wheelchair in."
I have reported this post to Facebook. It would be nice to think that this would be taken down but I'm not holding my breath. Facebook are too busy at the moment selling misleading political ads.
