Publix customers who got all excited over the weekend to learn their favorite grocery store was offering $100 off groceries may want to pause before trying to cash in the coupon the circulated over Facebook.
“There is a fraudulent Publix coupon circulating on social media that states’$100 off your purchase of $120 or more,’” Publix wrote on its official Facebook account. “This is not supported by Publix and this coupon is not valid at any of our locations.”
Publix is warning its customers to avoid participating in the phony promotion and not to share their personal information. It is unclear at this time if the link on the coupon contains malicious code, but those who did click on the link are urged to run an antivirus scan just to be safe.
