Contest scam

« on: January 25, 2012, 05:21:46 AM »

Apparently there is a scam going around centering on a "report" that Chuck Norris has died. Has something to do with facebook and offering prizes like Ipads and TVs. They are trying to get personal info. The link directs them to a survey scam that asks people to hand over their contact information and date of birth for the chance to win an iPad 2, a 52" Sony Bravia HDTV or a free Starbucks gift card. This info is from MSNBC website. Chuck's not dead.

Puzzling. Remember seeing something about Chuck related to a sweeps and maybe ipads and TV's...not sure, and not sure if I entered. Don't think it said Chuck Norris was deceased....or I didn't catch that. There is one with Chuck Norris related to ERA and gunslingers. ?? I enter that daily. That definitely doesn't say he is dead though.
