"Back to School with a £100 ASDA Coupon" - Facebook Scam

The Facebook post: "Back to School with a £100 ASDA Coupon," is a scam. The fraudulent post was created to lure Facebook users to the fraudulent website: "asda-news.linkmy .website," by claiming they can get a £100 ASDA coupon. But, there is no £100 ASDA coupon, and it is only a scam to get Facebook users to comment on, "like" or share the same deceptive post that is spreading the fake coupon, with their friends. The scam will also attempt to trick potential victims into completing surveys, which the scammers will get paid for.
