Walmart ‘Free 85% Off Coupon’ Facebook Scam

Update:

In November 2018, another variant of this scam appeared. According to a post being shared on Facebook, Walmart is giving away free $50 off coupons to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Read about the 2018 Thanksgiving version.

Yet another coupon giveaway scam is hitting Facebook. This version claims that giant US retail chain Walmart is giving everyone a free 85% off coupon as a means of celebrating shopping week.

The post instructs you to share and comment on a promotional video, like the associated Facebook Page, and click a link to register your entry.

However, the post is fraudulent. It is not associated with Walmart and those who participate have no chance of getting the promised coupon. Like the countless other fake giveaways that have preceded it, the post is designed to trick people into spamming their Facebook friends and submitting their personal information on scam survey sites.

Facebook scammers are increasingly using video as a means of reaching even more victims.
