I woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at the foot of my bed.
At first I was afraid.......then I was petrified.…

    Personally I will be giving this a wide berth ,There is no info,it says it is a website,but googling brings nothing up,it is a brand new page and the photo's they have up don't really relate to anything,obviously it's up to the individual ,just doesn't seem right to me .
    :p

    Though there is fairly low personal risk in simply Liking and Sharing a photo, you may wish to know the following things which make me skeptical as to whether or not there is actually a prize to be given:

    - there is very little information about lushlab (mentioned by chelsea1969)
    - thelushlab.com redirects to the facebook page
    - thelushlab.com was registered in the Netherlands
    - thelushlab.com was registered with a gmail address
    - the facebook page has been active only since 13.02.2012
    - The twitter page http://twitter.com/#!/lushlab has only been active in November 2009 for just 2.5 weeks
    - Twitter activity recently resumed on 17.02.2012
    - Twitter activity appears to be governed by an automated service which retweets tinned fashion/music industry announcements and news bites.
    - There doesn't appear to be any product or service for sale.

    In short, it looks more like someone's social experiment than a genuine business.

    this is a fake site, you have been warned!

  • While exerting caution is good & you're probably right to avoid if not sure, I'd be careful with announcing it to be fake in case this is simply a marketing comp to generate interest for someone's start-up business - this page will come up very high in search engines. Also nothing too suspicious with having a new twitter account, being based in Netherlands or registering with a gmail account - you have to supply an email address before you can access the domain.
