I've noticed now several random pages on Facebook that have been offering some BIG PRIZE to a random person who comments.

All of the comments get followed up with a request to "sign up" at the top of the page.

It looks like all of these end up referencing a form on the submitentrys.com domain.

Giving a way a car or a trip to some exotic location has to have some catch.

For the truck page, it looks like the admins are in China and the US. One admin did not have a location to report (concerning).

Is this a new variation of how international data mining organizations get people in the US to give up their personal social data by signing up with these pages?

We know the fallout from the Russian orgs getting data from social media on US adults, but is this a new version post-Facebook's crack down on data access?
