A few days ago, Boatos.org discovered a new type of fake promotion that is circulating on the internet: that of the Facebook post that talks about great donations from companies and points to a most suspicious website. In Today's story, the company mentioned is Carrefour (terrible timing, huh scammers). According to messages circulating on the internet, Carrefour decided to make the donation of 700 sofas (in one of the versions we saw there were 1,400 sofas). To To win, the person would have to “open” a photo on Facebook, share the link and enter a website. Read the messages circulating online: Version 1: _DONATION OF 700 SOFAS Carrefour Solidarity Campaign in support of families from all over Brazil!

This is an exclusive campaign of Carrefour Brasil, a solidarity initiative to help the country at a time so difficult for all of us! Stay at home, stay safe and take care of your health_ ## Carrefour is donating 700 sofas to anyone who comments on the photo Facebook? The message spread with great force around the world, accumulated shares and, Mainly, comments. However, it is not true that Carrefour is doing a donation of sofas and the “donation” by the website in question is, at the very least, suspicion. In reality, it is a false promotion with all the steps “planned”. It works like this: scammers invent any promotion (as much as the more absurd the better) on a fake page and asks people to share and Comment on the image so that the post gains engagement. From then on, the possibilities are many. The first is to “take advantage” of the page with a lot of engagement and, later, to sell it. The second (which appears to be the case) is to promote a fake website sales. Distrust increases when, when we enter the website linked in the Facebook, we arrived at a false contact email, a CNPJ (probably “collected” from the internet) of a service that has nothing to do with sales and the “offer” of sofas for R$0 (very suspicious, right?). Not to mention that the “linked” website has no relationship with Carrefour. Just for fun, we decided to look on Carrefour's social media for any information about the donation of sofas by the company. How would it be imagine, we found nothing. All the latest publications are related with the death of João Alberto Freitas in a network unit in Porto Alegre (RS). In short: the story that suggests that Carrefour is giving sofas to those who Sharing and commenting on a photo on Facebook is fake. In addition to the website linked in the message is one of the most suspicious (entitled to false information and absurd offers) and have nothing to do with the brand, there is nothing about that donation on the official pages of the supermarket chain.
