In the last few days we have warned Facebook users about scams spreading on Facebook claiming that the likes of ASDA, Argos, Pizza Hut, Tim Hortons and Starbucks are offering consumers gift cards and vouchers entitling them to free goods.
Now it’s the turn of British supermarket giant to find its brand abused by scammers attempting to earn money by driving internet traffic towards online surveys.
Here are some examples of what is spreading on Facebook right now.

Of course, if you were fooled into participating in this scam you probably want to know how to clean up your Facebook account. Remove the message from your newsfeed, so you are no longer spreading it with your online friends and be more careful next time.
Hopefully Facebook’s security team will begin to block this campaign soon, before more users are impacted.
Make sure that you keep informed about the latest scams spreading fast across Facebook and other internet attacks.
