Bogus offer on Facebook

There is a bogus offer out there on Facebook that I want to warn you about.  It tells you that if you become a fan of their page, you will Get $250 In Groceries from the Grocery Of Your Choice-Limit 1.  Though they don't show you step two or three.

Step 2 tells you to tell all of your friends.

Step 3 sends you to a whole new page to complete more offers.  These are a waste of TIME! The following is just a part of what is on the bottom of page 3.

"This promotion is conducted exclusively by ConsumerIncentivePromotions. By continuing, I have read and agree to ConsumerIncentivePromotions's Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. To obtain the gift for this promotion you must: 1) register with valid information including e-mail address, shipping address, and phone number; 2) complete the survey; 3) complete at least 2 Silver, 2 Gold and 2 Platinum Sponsor Offers (offer availability will vary)"

"For this promotion, $250 Grocery Gift Card, you must complete a total of 6 offers as follows: Page 1 (Silver) - complete any 2 offers; Page 2 (Gold) - complete any 2 offers; Page 3 (Platinum) - complete any 2 offers to get your gift."

So unless you want to fill out and receive more credit cards, offers to go to college or add another netflix subscription, I suggest not becoming a fan because I know all too well about these offers.  They are a pain to do and then you have to fight to get your card.  Plus, you get spam and phone calls from many different people.
