Rule of thumb: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

As for Mars, we found Facebook posts that asked, in all capital letters, “What’s your birth month to qualify for today’s giveaway?” It read like this: “WHAT”S Y0UR BIRTH MONTH TO QUALIFY FOR TODAYS GIVEAWAY.”

These scams appeared to be hosted by several fairly large and unofficial Bruno Mars Facebook groups, some of which had been created by fans. After some users believed the scam was real and commented with their birth month, the scammers then directed them in replies to click a link. The links in those replies went to a page on either sites.google.com or blogspot.com. Those pages made the same promise about Mars, Perry, and Brooks holding a giveaway for either $750 in gift cards or $10,000 in cash. A link at the bottom of that landing page then went to a second website that hosted survey scams.Survey scams are a specific kind of ruse.
