Job Offer As Trick To LIKE A Facebook Fanpage Be Warned!!! by Elemosho: 11:11am On Sep 09, 2013
There is a new trick going on that makes you LIKE a fan page without your consent. You will be tricked to like a page in disguise of a job application. You will receive a message in your yahoo inbox from Julie Adetutu HR titled "JOB OFFER FROM SAHARA OIL & GAS GROUP NIGERIA". You will be asked to click to download job offer letter. Upon getting to the website, you will be asked to click LIKE so as to download the offer letter. Once you click LIKE, you are trapped. You automatically LIKED a fan page without your consent.

I viewed the source code and discovered they had used a widget called CONVERTSOCIAL from this website http://convertsocial.com/embeds/like-download/like-download.php?. The fan page behind this is Kevin Djakpor's Blog (https://www.facebook.com/KevinDjakporBlog).

With this trick, his fan page increased by 5,000 in just 1 hour! That is real bullshit of getting LIKES to his page and blog. The right thing to do is to advertise his page through facebook Ads, google, nairaland etc. If you have not been tricked then be warned. If you have been tricked and do not like to be a fan of his page, go to his page https://www.facebook.com/KevinDjakporBlog click the LIKE tab and click unlike at the end of that tab. You can paste it on your facebook wall to let your friends know about this.

This is where the mail will take you to if you click download in your mailbox

This is a very wrong way of doing things. Why would you deceive people to Like your page. I also have a fan page about motivational quotes and I advertise through facebook ads once in a month and right now my fan page has 2444 likes in just 2months that i started. I know with time I will get the kind of audience that I want but not through a dubious means. His page is not bad but the way he went about it is what is wrong.
