The Facebook post below: "$100 Off Your Purchase of $120 or more," is fraudulent and is a Facebook like-farming scam. This scam will attempt to trick Facebook users, by claiming that they can get a $100 Publix coupon. But, the fake Facebook post has nothing to do with Publix, and is only a scam to get Facebook users to comment on, "like" or share the same deceptive post with their friends. The victims of the scam may also be asked to complete surveys.
If you have received the same fake post on your Facebook Wall or Timeline, please report it to Facebook as spam.
