    I saw that, a friend shared it. If a page isn't verified but claiming to be an airline or disney or something along those lines, I wouldn't trust it.

    Plus lets be realistic, they always say stuff like "We are giving away 100 all expenses paid trips to disneyland!!" or in this case, it was something like "We have 100 pairs of seats to fly on Qatar to any destination in business class. Just like & share to win!"
    I'm pretty sure no company would give away THAT much.. especially if their page only has a thousand likes :P

    A lot of these pages seem to be run by one person. What he does is "run" competitions & gets likes & then either one of two things , he either sells the page to scammers or he tells people to go to a certain page where he says (the non-existent) "winners" will be announced, that page pays him for traffic generated.
