Starbucks ‘Free $50 Coupon’ Facebook Scam

According to a post currently being distributed on Facebook, you can click to get a free $50 coupon from the popular coffee outlet, Starbucks.

The post claims that Starbucks is giving everyone a $50 coupon as a means of celebrating its anniversary.

Here’s what the post looks like:

However, the supposed giveaway is just another Facebook survey scam.   The post has no connection to Starbucks and those who participate will never receive the promised coupon.



The bogus giveaway is designed to trick people into first spamming their friends with the same scam message and then divulging their personal information on dodgy survey websites.

If you click on the post, you will be taken to this fraudulent giveaway web page:
