Sainsbury's free food box - is it a scam?

There seem to be various scams around involving Sainsbury's and it seems likely that this is one of them.

Scammers are producing links that look convincingly genuine.

Did they contact you? If so then it's a scam. Don't do it. Phone up Sainsbury's number from their website if you really want to know.

I just Googled and it's definitely a scam. Why would Sainsbury's give you free groceries anyway?

Phone your local Sainsburys and ask them. If it is genuine, they will know about it.

Yes it's a scam. I think you will find the form asks for your bank details.
That's the clue. I know someone who stopped filling in the form when she realised it was a scam because of this.

Yes, Aldom. i felt uneasy when I reached the final step, so I didn't send it.
I have just finished a call from my bank saying they had refused the payment.
It was an automatic call, so I assume I'm OK!
phew!
Thanks all.

That's a relief ExDancer. So glad you weren't reeled in and scammed.

Just remember that Yorkshire expression^You get owt for nowt^

If an offer is too good to be true it is too good to be true.

I think one's first thought about anything emailed or facebooked or whatever these days should be...it's a scam. Sad but true.
