FarmVille Scam Beware: Love Potion

Hey Guys, Be The First To This With Your Friends

The second most popular scam found today is for Love Potions. These scams look just like the normal Love Potion notices, except for a little wording and of course how you go about getting the Love Potion.

Take notice of the “Give Potion Please” text in the title, this looks like it’s written from the poster themselves, but it is not. It’s just another attempt at making everything look legitimate.

If you do happen to click the link your browser will take you to a FaceBook page for FarmVille-Items. This is not a post from the official Zynga FarmVille game!

Are your neighbors repeatedly falling for these recent FarmVille scams? Instead of deleting them from your neighbor’s list, why not share this Farm Rockers article with them?

Here are some tips provided by Zynga, concerning FarmVille scams:

1. Feeds containing art never seen in game are most likely not from FarmVille.
2. Feeds containing offers that are never mentioned in game are most likely not from FarmVille.
3. Feeds that offer Farm Cash for clicking are never from FarmVille.
4. If the icon in the lower left corner of the feed isn’t our corn husk icon, the feed is never from FarmVille.
5. If a link is posted by an entity other than FarmVille, and supposedly contains FarmVille content or a redirect to the game, we do not advise clicking on it as we cannot control URL’s that are in anyway removed from our game flows.

“Keeping these guidelines in mind will help assure that your FarmVille experience stays pleasant and fun. Thanks and happy farming!” (Source: Zynga Customer Support)

We all know how popular sheep breeding has become, and now that we can take a Sheep Pen for our home farms, breeding is bound to become twice as much fun as before!

Those familiar with sheep breeding will know that you require Love Potions in order to be able to breed rams and ewes.

There is currently a scam that seems to be going around Facebook about these Love Potions, and it is affecting accounts fast!

This scam will post a feed on your Facebook profile asking for Love Potions like always, but once you click on it, a pop-up will show up on your screen to publish that you need Love Potions too, and it will not disappear unless you click “Publish”.

Please note that this is a scam! This is not a post by the official FarmVille Zynga game!

A quick and easy way to identify this post as a scam is by spotting the app’s name – which in this case is “Love Potion”! As always, FarmRockers wants to make sure you are wary and cautious of such scams floating about!
