A Butler County woman is warning others of a scheme that sought to con her out of hundreds of dollars.
‘Freebie Mom’ is a Facebook fan page that offers giveaways twice a day and has more than 3 million likes.
Candi Van Tine entered a giveaway on the page to win a pool and said she couldn’t believe it when she was told she won $1 million, according to our news partners at WPXI-TV.
Van Tine says she got a message from a person who claimed to be from the site, asking for information, including her age, job and address. The caller also asked for more than $200, saying the fee would go toward paying for legal documents so she could get the winnings.
The owner of the Freebie Mom Facebook page said she’s aware that people try to use the page to take advantage of people and emphasized that anyone who wins will never be asked to pay anything.
