There is this Megadeth facebook fanpage floating around, and it’s getting popularity pretty fast. How? The site claims it does guitar giveaways.

It’ll show a picture of the guitar this page is giving away and then it’ll ask you to like it, and share it, you’ve entered the contest. It’s giving away all kinds of expensive musical equipment, not just guitars.

Check it out, here.

WARNING!!!!!!!! DO NOT TRUST IT!!!!

The page is stepping way over the legal line. The contests aren’t legit. Those pics of those guitars and other musical equipment they are claiming to give away, they stole those pics from other instrument websites, just random google photos.

For example that Gibson Les Paul 1969 custom pic was stolen from this site, here.

The page says it isn’t official, but there are tons of copyright infringement stuff on there, with the Megadeth band name and the RoadRunnerRecords name. Plus, the site is disrespecting the band Megadeth, itself.

A lot of people fell for that site, and thinking the giveaways are real, but they pick you as a winner and if they ask you for your address, you’ve made a huge mistake there. Don’t give out your address to people you don’t know.

That page is getting popular and it should be taken off of facebook. The band, Megadeth, themselves haven’t picked up on that page yet, but I’m sure it will get to their attention soon. The owner behind that page, should get a “cease and desist” letter by the Megadeth attorney. I hope they do.

Just kind of proves my point that people don’t use facebook carefully. People are NOT smart using facebook. I almost fell for the giveaways myself, but then I immediately realized that site is out to fool people. Even if you get picked as a winner, you won’t get anything delivered at your home, I’m sure.

Don’t like that page.
