FarmVille fake group pages and why you shouldn't join them

Q: "I joined a Facebook Group Page and never received my FarmVille Dog that was promised when I became a fan. Is there anything I can do?"

A: No, there is nothing that you can do to get your "free" item. These pages are fake. Please be weary of any page that promises a free Dog, farm cash, Villa, FarmVille exclusive item or ________ (fill in the blank) for joining their Facebook Group Page.

These offers are fruitless. You will never receive your free FarmVille stuff so plan on waiting a very long time. Also, think about the mechanics of exactly how this would work. Who is actually going to send you free unreleased gifts or farm cash? Doing so would require you to be Facebook friends or FarmVille neighbors, so how would a group page send you free stuff anyways? Regarding unreleased items, if they are not yet released, then they are impossible to send.

Please inform your FarmVille newbie neighbors that these pages are fake and ignore requests to join them.
