Does this FB page look bogus

https://www.facebook.com/ApplePr0ductGiveaways

They have over 30000 likes but with all the comps it just seems to good to be true.
What do you think?

Joined Facebook 01/12/2013 - that's a lot of likes in 5 weeks !!
Could be dodgy, but not 100%

And no company info on the About page...

Yes. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.




Who's got a barge pole?! ... sorry, Peter Kaye .. that line always pops into my head

Also, looks suspiciously like this one: https://www.facebook.com/directdteam

(spotted the "directd" on some of the Apple Giveaway pics...)

Definitely not a legit page.

Thanks, just noticed the 0 in the word pr0duct in the url too.

I agree that it looks bogus, they seem to exist only to giveaway Apple products, which seems an unusual business strategy :-)

But, out of interest, what is in it for them? What do they get out of people liking and sharing their page/posts that they couldn't get from trawling other facebook pages?

The more likes they get the more valuable the page is, they can sell it
