That $200 Coupon for Wegmans is a Fake

That $200 off coupon for Wegmans is too good to be true, because it isn't true; it's a scam.

Wegmans is warning customers: that coupon offering $200 off groceries at its store is a fake.

A coupon circulating on Facebook that offers the big deal is a “false claim,” Wegmans posted on its page.

“This giveaway is neither affiliated with nor supported by Wegmans,” the company wrote. “We’re actively working to have this fraudulent post removed from Facebook.”

Wegmans urges customers not to click the link share it, or provide any personal information.
