"We encourage everyone not to engage, like or share," the company added.
While some people fall prey on the lavish promo, other netizens are still vigilant on what they read online.
Netizen Martin Lloyd Obsuna shared: "Unang una kasi dapat i-check nyo if it's a verified page. Dapat may check na icon sa gilid kapag verified page. Be resposible enough before sharing any link(s). Walang manloloko, kung walang nagpapaloko."
Netizen Jasper Jed Belda Gueco has said: "I knew it. August ang oldest post ng page, so it's new. Outdated ang cover photo at walang terms and conditions yung promo."
