Hello there, Today I am going to share you about another big spam from Facebook. Unfortunately, it is about the most expected device of 2012. Recently, most of the Facebook users started getting email directly from Mark Zuckerberg announcing that they have won an Apple iPad 3. Facebook last month announced the free business card giveaway that was pretty successful and even I got my card within 10 working days. Because of that, most people will fall for this free Apple iPad 3 giveaway Facebook fake email. So, I decided to have a look at this matter as a serious issue and thought of sharing with you about this spam. Let’s have a look at this email in details and see how to identify such fake emails in future and prevent further problems.
The Free iPad 3 Giveaway email will be from Mark Zuckerberg with subject as Dear Facebook User. As I mentioned before most of the people will fall for this email because they will see this giveaway as a follow up for the free business card giveaway which is still active.
