Fisher-Contest-Closed

It seems the scammers have once again been busy on Facebook. Fisher Research Labs was running a giveaway on their Facebook page where you could win a Fisher F22 metal detector. However, these types of giveaways are easily used by scammers who simply message people who have taken part, telling them they have won. They then try to get you to enter your credit card details into a fake website or online form. 

Fisher has now closed the giveaway and issued the following statement:

Important Notice Regarding Giveaway Closure

If you are taking part in any online giveaway, the clue is in the word “giveaway”. In other words, you should not be paying for anything. If you receive a message saying that you have won, always contact the company that is holding the giveaway and double-check with them. Never click on any links in these messages. Go directly to the company website or Facebook page in your browser. And absolutely never give your credit card details. If asked for them you can be sure it is a scam.
