A page lures you in to click "like" by asking, do you care about kids with cancer? Or premature babies? What about war heroes? If you "like" that page or that photo, you're now accepting anything the new owners want to post in your feed, including advertisements.
This is big business in the "selling private information to advertisers" business model. And they're selling YOUR information to the highest bidder.
Sometimes, that buyer is an advertiser. Sometimes, it's a scammer.
