There are hundreds of free iPhone scams on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

There’s no such thing as a free iPhone — but there’s always someone willing to convince

you otherwise. With the iPhone 8 already in stores and the iPhone X arriving in three weeks, scammers have sprung into action, using the promise of a free phone to trick people into giving up their information or worse, often using some of the web’s biggest platforms as a launching pad for the scam. A quick Facebook search turns up dozens of Facebook groups devoted to free iPhone scams, typically offering to send along the phone after a particular task had been completed. One offered to send a phone in a drawing among users who subscribed to an Indian viral content site and invited 50 friends; another referred users to Xpango, a referral site that has been described as a pyramid scheme.                                                                                   https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/11/16458646/free-iphone-8-scam-facebook-google-youtube
