In order to claim the supposed 'prizes,' users were then directed to fill out a seemingly endless number of surveys with constant promises of other winnings. 'Congratulations you won 2 samsung 60 inch tv and a $1000 walmart gift card,' the website claimed. Once users commented under the scammers' posts about the fake Walmart televisions giveaway, they were directed to a website. It has a verified badge next to its name, which means that it's an authentic page.)
(The official Walmart Facebook page is /walmart. The scam may have been connected to this Facebook profile. This was not an official Facebook page for Walmart. We found several with this name, but zeroed in on this one in particular: /walmartfans. The fake giveaway for televisions was hosted by a page named Walmart Fans. We don't want them to go to waste, so we'll send them randomly to people who have shared and commented before 20 May. All TVs work, however some have minor damage such as scratches, dents and others have been returned to our stories by customers. We are about to throw away several televisions that we can no longer sell, do you want one? We thought that instead of throwing them away, we would give them away to people who need them.
