Are these 'join for free stuff' Facebook groups, scams?

They try get as many members then change the name of the group etc to make it look meaningful.

Correct

Oh OK, I was gonna say what's the point in gaining lots of members but now it makes sense. Pshhh it's more fun to make a group and hope it doesn't flop .

[Firehorse]

Its not just to make it look meaningful, once you have a group with lots of members you have thousands of people you could potentially spam and advertise to. Look at the group creator, its a fake account just for it.

I like "WE N33D 2 MILLION MEMBERS tO STOP FACEBOOK Charging $14.50 A M0N7H". Besides spelling errors and the location of its offices stated Boob-ville, the mear fact that facebook were to start charging people would lose them millions, it would become very unpopular, and it wouldn't be the unstoppable beast it is today.

Any group that claims you can acheive something by inviting your entire friends list is a load of bull. Same with the ones like "No school on fridays - Need 5,000,000 members to make it official". Some people are so gullable :rolleyes:

[Aces]

who cares if you have 5 or 5,000,000 members in your group?

[ColyTom]

These groups really do annoy me so much =/
