According to a post currently being shared across Facebook, pizza chain Little Caesars is giving EVERYONE 3 free large pizzas to celebrate the company’s 60th anniversary.
The post, which features an image depicting a Little Caesars coupon, links to a website that supposedly allows you to claim your free pizzas.
However, the post and the associated website have no connection to Little Caesars and no pizzas are being given away.
The post is yet another Facebook giveaway scam designed to trick people into submitting their personal details on dodgy websites.
Clicking on the post opens a “claim” website that asks you to complete a pointless survey about your pizza buying habits. No matter what answers you give, the fake site will always choose you as a “winner”.
The claim page then instructs you to like and share on Facebook and add the comment “Thanks for my Coupon”. Supposedly, you must complete these steps before your pizza coupon claim can be verified. But, in reality, following the instructions just helps the scammers by promoting their fake giveaway to a much wider audience.
After you like, share, and comment, a list of links will appear. The page claims that you must click one or more of these links to finish verifying your entry and receive the free coupon.
The links open scam websites that promise the chance to win further prizes in exchange for submitting your personal information. But the site will share the information you submit with “site sponsors” and dodgy marketing companies.
So, you will soon be inundated with unwanted phone calls, text messages, emails, and letters promoting a range of suspect products and services.
For better or worse, anyone can write a blog post about anything they want. Everyone has a voice and the best voices will rise to the top.
The writer can show their personality:
In blog posts, the writer has more leeway to add in their voice and personality than other types of writing.
Blogs are a great form of mass communication:
You can help people, learn new things, entertain your audience—the possibilities are endless and amazing. Blogging opens up all of these to a very wide audience.
You can make money:
Get the right blog going and you can make a lot of money through advertising and sponsored posts.
It allows people to craft better thoughts:
Instead of reading haphazard, uneducated Facebook statuses, it’s much better to see people’s thought process in a well-written blog post.
You can establish a community:
Blogging allows you to connect with other individuals who share the same interests. Sharing ideas and opinions within your community helps establish yourself as a thought leader.
Good for SEO:
Keeping content on your site fresh and relevant, you can use your blog to boost the search engine ranking (SEO) of your site and your business.
It brings people back to your site:
If your blog is strong enough and updated regularly, people will come back looking for more and bring traffic back to your site as well.
It’s free:
It costs you a grand total of zero dollars to post to the blog, so if you have something to say, there’s nothing to stop you.
You can establish yourself as a thought leader:
A blog is a great place for your original thoughts, and it can be a wonderful way to show off your individuality. If people like your ideas, you can become a thought leader in your industry!
