"Cadbury Social Media Scammers Take Chocoholics for a Ride"

A fake Facebook Group has been discovered and is being used to trick social media users into divulging their personal and financial details to win free Cadbury chocolate.  Various posts from the group claim that the chocolate-maker, now owned by multinational Mondelēz, is sending a hamper to everyone who replies before midnight as part of a celebration of its 126 years in business. In reality, the company is 196 years old, having been founded in 1824.  Victims are urged to click through, where they will be taken to a Cadbury-branded phishing page to enter a name, home address, phone number, email address, and bank card details.  The campaign seems to have been launched over the weekend and already has hundreds of comments and nearly 2000 likes.
