Disney Cruise “Last Minute Cancellation”; Facebook Survey Scam
The original site is no longer online; links go to the Internet Archive copy.
The claim
Circulating post that comes from a Facebook Page called “Disney Cruise.” claims that, due to a last minute cancellation, Disney is giving away a seven day cruise for four people. For a chance to win, claims the post, you just need to share the post, enter the word “Me” as a comment, and then click a link.
What the fact-checkers found
The post and Facebook Page are bogus. They are not associated with Disney in any way, and those who participate have no chance whatsoever of winning a cruise or any other prize. There are no prizes and no winners other than the scammers who created the fake Facebook Page.
It is yet another Facebook scam designed to trick you into giving out your personal information on scam websites and spamming your Facebook friends with the same fake prize posts.
In recent years, there have been an ongoing series of similar Facebook scams that have falsely claimed to be giving away Disney cruises and other Disney related prizes.
