40,000 Facebook Users Fall for Ikea Gift Card Scam

Last week, a fake $500 Whole Foods coupon scam was going around Facebook, and now nearly 40,000 users have fallen for an Ikea gift card scam on the site. The sad part is that an Ikea scam already happened in Mar 2010.

PC World is reporting that nearly 40,000 Facebook users signed up for a $1,000 Ikea gift card offer early today, which was unfortunately fake. The scam offer, like many others, pulls people into a Facebook Fan Page, then directs them to click on a link to sign up.
