So in short there are people out there in the world, that do not have anything else better to do, that to be huge poop heads. So they dream up these plans to put out Fake Farmville posts in an effort to get you to click them, and spread their fakeness, and get more people to click, its an never ending cycle of fail.
I saw this post on a friends wall today…
Because I love the trees, I know this isn't out. Plus The Bold line shouldn't say "Farmer's". And when you hover your cursor on the "via Farmville" you see
This Sadly is the real url to play Farmville, so People that hover there are sometimes tricked into thinking this is real. But if you place your cursor over the actual Tree Image, you will see this url.
I cut off part of their url since there is no need to give them any advertisement for being scumbags.
So if you did click it you end up seeing *this*
Let me point out the most obviously wrong thing. Zynga Doesn't feel like they have to tell you something is Official when you go to click a reward post. Also "Officially by Zynga" just sounds dumb. Also why does it say "Do you want this? Present Tree?" Clearly this is being wrote by some like 14 year old in an effort to feel special or who knows what evil reasons someone would have to make a bs fake Farmville reward thing. And another thing, these crap bags post on their wall that they sent people a Dart in Farmville, to help make them look more legit. It makes me frigging sick. More so than I already am, cough.
And if you guessed that super old Youtube Video would be making another appearance, then you are correct.
In short the easiest way to stay safe.
1) Do not blindly click anything you see, No reward is worth causing your computer or friends computers to maybe get something evil on them.
2) Always hover on the Image to see what the actual link really is.
3) Never Hover on "via Farmville" to see if something is legit, you will be burned EVERY TIME.
So many scams and they'll never go away because people will keep thinking they can get something for nothing.
Remember when you click scams, you likely will be opening up your friends to clicking scams, and before long everyone has computer aids. Think before you click. I've not yet seen a SINGLE SHARED REWARD, that is worth blindly clicking.
Step 1 Let say you see a new fancypants tree, but Fvnation.com hasnt posted it… Its likely a load of crap.
Step 2. You hover over the link to get the tree, and for some reason it doesn't say apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/whateverelsegoeshere, it says something about "breeding united" Its very likely a load of crap
Step 3: If it looks like just a poorly repainted tree, it may be a scam, but see step 1 and 2 and you got this.
And because I feel you need to hear my voice again.

If you place your Cursor on the above Critters doings, you will see some evil link to a scam site that likely has nothing but bad intentions in their heart.
People are too quick in just blindly clicking on any and everything that May or Maynot be legit. In short no feed reward is that rare to risk ruining your computer/friends computer/giving away your identify/giving away your facebook password/etc. All these scam apps are UP TO NO GOOD.
It takes maybe a Half a second before you click on something, to place the cursor over the photo. I know some people are still thinking that "if it says via Farmville, it must be real" THIS IS UNTRUE!! Almost Every well executed scam lately have said "via Farmville"
So Here once again, is how to actually know what is going on, what the video, and if you have any questions leave them as a comment on this post
Yeah its this post again, Come on folks this crap is popping back up, and I'm seeing so many folks that are just blindly clicking, Remember the Hover!
I mean come on folks, this is not like flying a zeppelin hard. It takes just a moment, Hover the Photo, read the status bar. Easy Pease. And yes, I included the Love Potion Icon, so maybe some of you that love clicking anything that looks like a love potion will click and educate yourself and your friends.
So some liars decided to try and trick folks into clicking some crack in exchange for an animal that is unreleased. So in short, this is not us. This doesn't work. This doesn't even look like a post you should click on. And what is "15 Minx", isn't that a Cat?
So Some Scumbag, again has decided they want to be foolish and create a scam to bait folks into clicking, and spreading their crap.
It takes folks to some sort of "nearmyfarm” Slot machine load of crap.
Many smart folks are falling for it, because they "check the numbers" which means placing the cursor on the "via Farmville" and it showing the app numbers.
We here at FvNation has said this is a FAIL for a Long time, because any app can easy spoof the real FV Numbers. The only Surefire Hover way is the one I've outlined Dozens of times

There is a new round of scams going around based on a way old unreleased item. Some Scumbag, likely the same one responsible for tons of fail, edited out the border, then made up some fake gibberish. You know how you can avoid this scam with pretty much no problem. The Hover.
So Here once again, is how to actually know what is going on, watch the video, and if you have any questions leave them as a comment on this post (Thanks for posting out my simple typo, in that special way that I'm sure I should have expected when I saw your name)

Ok this is spreading even faster, the "zyngapromotions.com" isn't a site owned by Zynga. And frankly there is no telling what sorts of evil is going on with this nonsense.
So I did some more checking to figure out why all these people are posting these links. It appears the Zynga Promotions site offers candy and expansions and something called an "Energy Cow".
Just a Suggestion, You should know by now Zynga is Unlikely to give you anything, remember Zynga is Charging Farmcash for Items to celebrate THEIR birthday…
If you see a questionable thing, Come by the Farmville Nation Chat and ask about it.
But Bob these look like real farmville posts, how can I know they aren't real!
1) The hover. I say this so much, it seems like EVERYONE should know by now.
2) Have you seen these Items Posted on FvNation.com?
Well way back when I believe we posted the Palo Verde, which was just a Deco Tree
Its Generally not likely that DECO TREES GROW FROM SEEDLINGS. Ya know the obvious way to tell this is a Deco tree, is the fact there is no image of "fruit" on it, like EVERY OTHER Harvestable Tree.
Remember "checking for the numbers" by placing your cursor on the "Via Farmville" is a
HUGE FAILURE.
Scams can easily have the same Application number without being the real app.
So Stay safe farmers, spread around our tips, to hopefully keep you and your friends out of the crap pile that is these scams.
So in short there are people out there in the world, that do not have anything else better to do, that to be huge poop heads. So they dream up these plans to put out Fake Farmville posts in an effort to get you to click them, and spread their fakeness, and get more people to click, its an never ending cycle of fail.
