Example ( Fake Union Jack Mystery Egg ) Scam Message
Clicking any of the links in the above fake FarmVille message will transfer you to the page below. The offer is not legit and will only cause you to spam the same message to your wall and your friends news feeds. After spamming your friends you will be transferred to a page which claims you will receive your Union Jack Mystery Egg if you simply “Like” 3 different facebook pages. This is a false claim. You WILL NOT receive anything. I would advise you to avoid all of the pages involved in this scam. See examples..
