Don’t bother answering three questions to claim your $500 Walmart grocery credit, as a recent Facebook post promises — it’s a scam.
By Madison Czopek • January 4, 2023
It’s similar to other posts we’ve debunked, such as one from October that the government was giving each household that completed three questions"500 $ WalMart shop credit." Walmart customers to avoid buying, selling or checking a gift card balance"on online marketplaces outside of Walmart.com."are circulating online with the same lure: discrimination against women. Only this time, Lowe’s appears to be the offending company, and anyone who answers three questions and spends $2 will supposedly receive cookware sets"as settlement." Like the Walmart post, these offers were shared on Facebook pages that were created the same day the posts were published.
We reached out to Lowe’s about the claims but didn’t immediately hear back. But we found no news reports or credible sources to corroborate the claim that they’re settling discrimination allegations by giving women deeply discounted cookware.
