WARNING: You Can’t Win a Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG by Liking a Facebook Page

Attention, Facebook users: If you really want to own a Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG, you’ll have to buy one from a dealer, like everyone else. Facebook pages claiming that they are giving away the automobiles to users who enter contests by liking the pages, liking and sharing promotional posts, and choosing the colors of their cars in comments are scams, according to Hoax-Slayer.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, as Hoax-Slayer reported that the supposed automobile giveaway is merely a like-farming scam, designed to boost the number of likes on the page so that it can be used for further scams or sold on the black market to other scammers.
