We have been alerted to a phishing scam targeting consumers. The message falsely claims to be a survey and promises that one lucky entrant may win R10000. This is a scam and we implore our consumers not to click on this link or share it under any circumstances.
The company currently does not have any surveys in circulation, the competition is completely fraudulent and did NOT originate from Food Lover’s Market or any of its partners.
Once clicked, it invites the reader to complete a questionnaire to stand a chance of winning R10 000. Food Lover’s Market will not hesitate to bring criminal charges, should we be able to trace the origin of the scam.
Furthermore, we have alerted our consumers to the scam via our social media platforms on several consecutive days, as well as alerting our internal teams.
How do you know it’s a phishing scam?
- Competitions will only be advertised on the Food Lover’s Market website or Food Lover’s Market social media platforms and never as a link shared on WhatsApp or any other website.
