Recently I recieved a notification via facebook. The sight wants me to enter my email and home address to recieve a free iphone 5. Cany anyone tell me if this is in fact a legitimate deal or just a phishing scheme to find valid email addresses and attatch them to valid mailing addresses? Here is the link to the facebook page.
iPhone 4
Since there is NO iPhone, I am quite confident in saying it is a Scam.

Edit: NO iPhone 5
Well, if you read the info on the link it is being billed as an opportunity to test the iphone 5 before it's scheduled release date in september. That being said, I'm looking for answers as opposed to assumptions.
It is a scam. Period. Exclamation point.
Apple does not use outside companies to do hardware or software testing. If they want you to test a new iPhone they will contact you directly.
You assume that we would click on the link when we already know it is dodgy! No thanks.
God, why even ask that question, apple is a huge name brand, what name brand this big would ever commit to letting a third party company distribute "Iphone 5's" out to people that could work for that no good Android Sh*t
Why even reply to a post made eight months ago, particularly one that was already answered?
I know the last comment has been posted in March but here's a little tip for everyone:
If a site is asking you to enter your e-mail or phone number or even home adress, you can assume it's scam. No legit person or institution giving away something would ask directly for that. Adresses are more likely to be asked for if you are the chosen winner.
Also if you are asked to do a survey, you can also assume it's scam. If you are very unlucky, you can easily tap into subscription traps. Happened to a friend of mine and without him knowing, about $50 were added to his phone bill.
is iphone 5 giveaway a scam?
