Lately, Facebook groups and pages are being invaded by thousands of fraudulent posts using the name of actor Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) promising or asking for money from users of social network.

But, who is Dwayne Johnson?

Dwayne Douglas Johnson, also known by his ring name The Rock, is an American actor, former professional wrestler and former college football player for the University of Miami. Best known for blockbuster films such as Jumanji, Fast & Furiosos, Teddy Bear, Moana - A Sea of ​​Adventures and many others, the actor is easily recognized in the photos and videos posted by pages that try to impersonate him to carry out frauds and scams.

The messages that are being shared by thousands of users now have some variations in the texts, photos and videos, but for the most part the intention is to deceive fans and try to get some kind of advantage by impersonating Dwayne.

See some of the fraudulent text below:

Hello everyone!!!..I will pick 500 lucky people on facebook..
