No, you are not going to win a free RV! But when you see posts about this on social media, they are so tempting. Companies with names like Camping & RV World boast about “unclaimed RVs” that they have to give away for free, and the included photos show some beautiful vehicles. But this is one of those
too-good-to-be-true
situations. You will not win anything from the RV Giveaway Scam. And there is a lot of harm afoot, even if you click Like on the post.
How To Spot the Scam?
This gets harder every year, as the scammers study Facebook and other platforms for ingenious ways to conceal their identities. But here are some clues:
When you visit a Business Page on Facebook, scroll down to find the Page Transparency section. Click “See All” to get the most details. This will tell you useful info, like the date that the Page was created, and possibly the country of origin. Scam pages often show a very recent date, while known trusted pages have older dates.
Regard the About section: Scam pages often have no info here, while legitimate pages will reveal a proper phone number, physical address and website.

Misleading caravan giveaway shared thousands of times on Facebook
A post on Facebook, shared over 5,000 times in under 24 hours, claims that social media users who share and comment on it could be in with a chance of winning a free caravan.
Alongside a number of pictures of the caravan, the post says: “Due to having a few small dents and scratches we have been unable to sell this in our showroom, rather than flog it as second hand we have decided to bring some joy by giving it to someone who has Sharred then commented by May 31st at 5pm. Delivery should be within 2 weeks [sic].”
But this is not a real giveaway. Full Fact found that the pictures were taken from a website run by a caravan dealership in Cumbria called Adventure Leisure Rentals, and a spokesperson for the company told us they had no association with the giveaway run by a Facebook page called Happy Campers.
Rick Parker, digital marketing manager at Adventure Leisure Rentals, told us that he had personally taken the pictures at a product reveal and had previously reported similarly fake giveaways using his images to Facebook.
There are several other indications that the giveaway might not be genuine. Firstly,

Using reverse-image searching, Full Fact traced the first picture of the motorhome to a web page listing the vehicle for hire in 2017.
We contacted Luna Motorhome Hire—the company that placed the listing—and were told that while they had taken the picture, they had since sold the vehicle to another business, DG Motorhomes, which sells new and used motorhomes.
A spokesperson for DG Motorhomes confirmed that it does currently own this motorhome, and has listed it for sale, adding: “This is the first we have heard of the giveaway and are no way linked to Happy Campers.”
There are several other indications that the giveaway advertised in the post might not be as it appears. Firstly, the ‘Happy Campers’ page behind the post has replied to many of the comments with the same message, which reads: “Your entry is almost complete! You still need to complete the validation process first. To do this simply click the blue Sign Up button located at the top of our page. Thanks and Good Luck.”
This goes beyond what is asked of social media users in the instructions of the post itself
