Update on 29 Apr 2010:

Original Post in 28 Apr 2010:
Different websites and fan blogs have been informing us about various FarmVille Scams, especially on Facebook Fan Pages.
Here is just a fun view of the latest of these scams – Yes! Here is the page of FarmVille Bonus XP and it is an absolute FarmVille SCAM. It promises to give away UPTO 1000 XPs as a Bonus but no one has received anything from them. (I know most of you will still give it a try – just in case 😉 ).
I will just give you some interesting details on the page:
FarmVille Bonus XP Scam Fan Page was created today on 28 Apr 2010 at around 02:00 AM EDT.
It posts a message very similar to FarmVille Messages. The logo is the same as used by FarmVille however instead of “via FarmVille” it says “via Bonus XP” – as shown in the image below.
The application went so VIRAL that by 04:00 AM EDT the application managed to get 10,000 fans who liked the page and after 4 more hours it had more than 68,000 fans.
After next 2 hours, the fans of the page had increased to 124,000+.
Next 2 hours passed and the fan count increased to 171,000+.
By the end of next 2 hours, the fans had increased to 215,000+.
It means that with in 10 hours of launching of the Scam Application Bonus XP, it had more than 215,000 Fans.
And by the time I wrote this post, the fan count has already reached 233,000+.
Isn’t it interesting how crazy everyone is about Farmville???
And the BEST part is that NO ONE has got anything from it – NOT even Farm Cents. 😉
I just want your comments on the issue: Have we gone insane after FarmVille?
