Hi, this page here claims to be apple's official facebook page. And it is facebook verified too. But the posts the page is spreading is quite suspicious and it seems more like a fake page to gain audiences and advertise. Can anybody from apple please confirm if it is really apple's official page? If it is not, we should report it to facebook for verifying it without investigation.
No. It's not Apple. The byline reads Computer store · Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Apple aren't giving phones away.
I'll draw it to the attention of the moderators here who may be able to get something done about it.

NOPE. Search for the address from "About" page
Apple - Find Locations
I predict a Cease and Desist order in short order
Looks like a "house" to me...
I am 99% sure that Apple's only FB presence is:
iTunes
https://www.facebook.com/iTunesUS/
MY bad for not reading the entire page!!!! On second thought, I'll just blame it on the Phantom Post glitch 😉
You can always tell an "official" page as they are vetted by FB and given a "badge" of authenticity - a "checkmark" beside the page title
That page actually somehow managed to get verified and it has a badge of authenticity. I think it probably first got verified as a business organization, then it started pretended to be official apple! Is there anyway to contact apple and report this?
Looks like a "technicality"... read the HoverBoxes carefully = subtle differences
The COLORs of the badging is different too
That's what I thought. But they verified somehow probably as a business organization, and now pretending to be apple's official page and spamming and spreading fake info to users.
Yep. 😟

I would have thought it is a clear attempt at "passing off". Anyway I've kicked it upstairs here and reported as a scam on FB.

Who knows "how it happened" (too many variables without a peek behind the FB curtain)
tt2 has already reported it "upstairs" (he means the ASC Hosts)
I'm stickin' with "technicality" 😉
Who knows, they may be an AAR and/or AASP! (lemme check real quick)
Is this apple's facebook page authentic?
