FAKE Magnum Facebook Page!

This morning, I saw a photo of a Magnum ice cream bar with a caption that said share for a chance to win an iPad 3 and iPhone 4S. Thinking it was easy enough to do and there was nothing to lose, I shared. But see, I have a pretty big network on FB so whatever I share will surely spread.

It traced back to a Facebook page entitled Magnum Philippines which claimed to be the official fan page. When I saw the page however I sort of had my doubts mainly because the photo they wanted people to share was not of professional quality.

Shortly after I shared, I got a message from one of my friends in Unilever. She told me that this is a fake Magnum page and that they are already working to have it closed down along with a bunch of other similar pages.

Since I made a mistake and shared, I saw that a lot of my FB contacts did the same. I felt responsible so I  thought that I should do what I can to warn people of this scam. Obviously since it's a fake page, it's a fake raffle. With that, I'd like to apologize to my FB contacts who liked and shared because of me.

In case you're wondering, the real official Magnum FB Page is HERE.
