    This is the one that says winner drawn at 8,000 entrants. And when it reaches 8,000 it then says 'winner drawn at 9,000' etc. Yes, it's a scam.

    Just noticed someone on my friends list shared a post from it.

    The page was only set up yesterday and so far they claim they'll give away around 36,000 pieces of merchandise.:huh: Hardly seems like genuine company/page. With likes and comments averaging 1000 on each post how would the even being to send the merchandise to the 'winners'??
    I don't get why people are bothering to interact with it by sharing, liking & commenting. It's clearly a fake (and pointless) page.

    More confused about why people set up these types of pages. What do they get from it exactly? :huh:

    The Minions, while they appear in the latest Monsters film, are apparently getting their own film next year...

    It claims it's a fanpage...

    It seemed genuine at first when they started giving away smaller prizes but no way would they give out hundreds of beats headphones or thousands of pairs of shoes! Definately a scam to get likes.
