Just seen another alert message from 1 hour ago:
Argos
Hi everyone, we have just been made aware of two competitions on a fake Facebook page claiming to be Argos. One is to win a pair of GHD hair straighteners and the other to win the new iPhone. Please be aware that neither competitions or the page have anything to do with us. This is the official Argos page and we are working with Facebook to get it verified. Have a great evening!0 -
These fake argos comps have been running for months. Just stay clear of any *shop* competition pages....as they are most likely fakes.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
