Thousands of people have shared a Facebook post claiming that social media users who share and comment on it could win a luxury motorhome. 

Alongside more than 30 pictures of the vehicle supposedly involved, the post says: “Due to having a few small dents and scratches we have been unable to sell this Supreme Aire 4051 in our showroom, rather than flog it as second hand we have decided to bring some joy by giving it to someone who has Shared then commented winner will be selected in July Delivery should be within 2 weeks.. [sic]”

But there is no evidence to suggest this offer is genuine, and the company selling the pictured motorhome have confirmed the vehicle is not involved in any giveaway.

The post uses near-identical language to other very similar fake…

A number of identical posts advertising fake campervan giveaways have been shared on Facebook, one of which has been shared over 200,000 times. 

The posts, which are shared from different pages about camping or holiday parks, all use the same pictures showing the exterior and interior of a motorhome. 

The text in the posts says: “Due to having a few small dents and scratches we have been unable to sell this in our showroom, rather than flog it as second hand we have decided to bring some joy by giving it to someone who has Sharred [sic] then commented by April 16th at 5pm. Delivery should be within 2 weeks.”
