Facebook offer for 4 free Regal Cinemas tickets is a scam

Regal Cinemas just posted this message on its Facebook page:

“ATTENTION MOVIE FANS: There’s currently an offer floating around Facebook for “Four Free Tickets.”

DO NOT CLICK the link!

It’s a scam to access your personal information. We are not affiliated with this in any way and have taken the necessary steps to alert Facebook. Please share this post and let your friends know!”

There are  tons of “free” offers floating around Facebook these days and unless they are associated with the company’s official website or Facebook page then they’re most likely a scam. The best way to find out is to get in touch with the company itself.

As always, think twice, or maybe three times, before sharing any personal information online.

    Facebook scams or any other kinds, I think everybody should check Scam Detector, an app that Apple released recently. They have hundreds and hundreds of scams exposed, in several industries. For those interested, the app has an online presence as well: http://www.scam-detector.com
