FACEBOOK SCAM: Free Dunkin' Donuts Gift Card

By , About.com GuideDecember 31, 2011

Follow me on:

Free $100 Dunkin' Donuts gift card offer is a Facebook scam
This is another Facebook clickjacking scam. The blurb promises a $100 Dunkin' donuts gift card just for sharing the link with friends — but in fact all you receive is the "opportunity" to take a survey on an unrelated website. At no point will you be given an actual gift card, though you will have spammed all your friends in the process.

Think before you click!

unfortunately, tried it…only a survey and never links you to your free gift card. Watch out it has changed to Starbucks.

First clue this was fake was they mispelled the name of the business (It’s Donuts, not Donut)

A company doing 5+ B in sales, giving away 80B in gift cards… sounds like a business plan!

I am upset that Dunkin’Donuts would participate in a scam such as this. It has turned me off as a future customer. Shame, shame, shame on you DD!!
