Hoax-Slayer reported on a scam that promises Facebook users free iPhone 6 devices after they complete three steps, but instead baits them into filling out surveys, spamming their friends and surrendering their personal information.

Hoax-Slayer described the scam as follows:

To get a chance to win, the site claims that you must first like the site’s Facebook page and then further promote the site by sharing a link with your Facebook friends.

You are then instructed to go to a second page on the site to download a “Participation Application.”
