2020 Newmar King Aire Giveaway
This showed up on my Facebook page. I can't imagine that it's legit, it's a $900k+ prize. As far as I know, the winner would have to pay taxes.

Yeah. I’m callin B.S.
Poorly worded. Calling for “likes” and reposting. Bunch of crap. IMHO....

Yes, these are all scams. They pop up on a regular basis there is a snopes page that discusses the “Luxury RV” give aways.

Just another reason I deleted my Facebook page 10 + years ago. If people were smart they would delete theirs too.

My favorite is " we can't sell because it's last year model" like you have to take all unsold Rvs to the crusher on Jan 1st.

Just saw a near-identical FB ad for a tiny house that was [sadly] won by an ineligible 17 year old and was now to be given to somebody who posts... Just another phishing scheme.
It's getting nigh impossible to actually share info among friends and family via FB. Can't find the personal stuff amidst the ads and political drivel.

What a startling coincidence

I disabled my account. I found that every time I logged on I was disappointed by some friend or family member’s postings and decided I’d rather not know what’s “on their minds”

This is a SCAM and the thread should be removed.

This thread is EXACTLY the type of information members come to iRV2 to find out about what to do. We won't remove it because it is a type of scam our members need to know about & beware. It would be a disservice & go against our Mission Statement to delete the thread.

There is great need for a sarcasm font.
