Ellen DeGeneres giveaway scam spreading on social media

Scammers push fake Facebook profiles of Ellen DeGeneres, popular US TV show host and producer, with the goal of tricking people into jumping through a few money-making hoops. Scammers somehow managed to make clips of Ellen talking about charity drives sound like shes giving things away. The illusion falls apart with a little bit of thought, but as with most scams, the allure of something for nothing proves too good to resist. The scam is a victim of its own ambition. At best, youll end up with a one-off membership fee.”]
