This is 100% a fake page, ive reported it myself, i notice a couple of names with 'mse' in their so please check that you have unliked it...

(the usual scam 'we have tons of ipads/macbooks/beats headfones etc..)

Be safe :)

    Thanks for the head up. I'm not a fan of the page but warnings like this make it easier for me to avoid it. :)

    I posted a couple of comps from this page earlier in the week but removed them almost instantly (within 5 mins anyway), when I realised it was a scam.

    It was the picture of all the apple products which gives them away every time.

    Hi all just a quick add-in -
    The REAL facebook page for 'DOTA 2' if anybody is interested is:-

    http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dota-2/106876872711112

    This has no connection to the 'scam' page offering thousands of dream prizes on my OP.

    (its some kind of online multiplayer game - over my head, I'll stick to Track N Field :rotfl:)

    Have you informed them? First thing I do when spotting a fake is report it to the real one - they can go down the route of copyright / imitation etc :)
    Thanks to all posters :A

    Yes thanks just done that - didnt think of going to the official fb page,
    also it seems that 'welovedota2' may have begun as a fanpage, but from what i can tell may have been taken over by hijackers??

    But id love find a page giving away that many awesome prizes!!
    (that was real)
