Some fan pages are legit and don’t need a CPAlead to get it, but this just raises your hopes for you to become fans of another page, probably run by the same people. Some really deceptive ones take you to a different URL, where there is no ‘un-fan’ button. Others lost their last admin years ago, and have no record of whoever created them. What you do is when you invite friends, tell them NOT to click it. Or, if you’re feeling really sneaky, say, CLICK IT NOW FOR FREE MONEY. See? Reverse psychology.

Well, once I found this – MOST DISTRUBING STATUS EVER!!!!, and I saw the CPAlead. Right before it shows up, an idiot who made the page might have not put it on the other pages of the site. So, I clicked another page link QUICKLY (needs good timing), and I saw it. But then, I clicked back to the Home Page, and it showed up ONLY on that page.
Or, you can do something like this in google:
site:(website address (NO HTTP://))
Then you can find every page on that 1 website the picture or whatever it is is on.

This scam thingy is getting out of hand, I came across two pages today that won’t show a stupid picture to the users unless they ‘Like’ the page, here is one

I’m not really sure how much personal info they get when a user ‘likes’ their page.

@Tibbo: Yes, there are ways to bypass the CPAlead, but it doesn’t really matter as the blocked content is fake anyway.

Thank you for this in-depth study. Can’t wait to pass it on to some FB friends.

Ye these fan pages are always so obviously fake, but they are almost quarter of the pages my friends become fans of! I dunno why they haven’t realised it by now.

I always report these dumb pages because they’re so obviously scams or spam pages.
