FarmVille Scam: Industrial Plantation 66×66 Land Expansion Scam

farmville land expansion plantation scam
There is a new FarmVille scam on FaceBook. This scam promises to offer a "free" 66 x 66 Farm Expansion titled the "Industrial Plantation".

Before you click on any links or join any such groups, please use your common sense and think about how they would actually give you a land expansion for free. Not only is the offer NOT associated with FarmVille or Zynga, we all know that Land Expansions (of any size, even unreleased) are not giftable or sendable, so the logistics of this scam would never work.

From FarmVille Freak Mark:

    "One of my neighbors posted a link which I was very doubtful of from the beginning, but went to just on the off chance it wasn't a lie. It was unfortunately a lie. Hardly surprising. It's from Gamesecrets and promises you can get the 66×66 Industrial Plantation by clicking their link.

    After allowing the application access to your information you get a congratulations screen that says click here for your 66×66 farm! Sounds too good to be true? It is. You get a survey! Well I got a message saying there were no surveys for my country. I'm sure if there were any way to get a 66×66 farm, Zynga would have told us about it already. Just thought I'd pass this on so others don't waste their time!" -FarmVille Freak Mark

Thanks for sharing this info with us FarmVille Freak Mark. Remember, that if a new farm expansion were available you would hear it here first, on FarmVille Freak!

Earn 2 free FarmVille Farm Cash in Propel Zero promotion

Perhaps in a subversive attempt to combat the number of FarmVille scams (fat chance), free FarmVille Farm Cash offers seem to pop up almost daily. Zynga's next venture into the world of free comes thanks to Propel Zero. FarmVille Freak has the details as this offer has yet to make it to the underbelly of our game screens. When you do finally see it, click on the link with the Propel logo on it to cause a pop-up to appear. Then, it's time to earn your 2 free Farm Cash.

After the pop-up ad appears, you'll notice it's no different from the rest. A video plays on the left, while it's your job to answer a simple survey question on the right. Answer the multiple choice question and click "Get Moving." A confirmation should appear in the upper reaches of the pop-up window describing that you've earned your Farm Cash. With that, you can close the window and give it a good hour for the Farm Cash to post to your account. Soon enough, you'll be two Farm Cash richer.
