Kroger Says Social Media Posts Promising Year’s Worth of Free Groceries Were Fake

The supermarket chain tweeted on Christmas Eve that Facebook posts promising a year’s worth of free groceries to four “lucky” families are fake and urged customers not to share or interact with the posts.

One of the fake posts has been shared more than 2,600 times and has almost 1,500 comments — many from people who said they desperately needed the prize. The fake Kroger.com Facebook page was made on December 22 and looks pretty authentic at first glance. However, the logo is a little off and the page only has about 800 followers.

I saw a sponsored post by Democratic Socialists of America or some such crap.

It was a video addressed to Republican voters refuting the notion that they want “free stuff”.

Blocked the whole sponsor.

Bernie Sanders himself said that you’d pay 50% of your income in taxes but you’d get free stuff like healthcare and college.

So they are telling Red Dupes that they are giving away FREE STUFF.

No different than these Nigerian scammers and here’s the catch, NONE OF IT IS FREE. They want your money!
