Market Basket is warning customers of a new Facebook scam involving a profile impersonating the supermarket chain.
According to a post from the official Market Basket Facebook page, there is an unauthorized profile using the company’s name and iconography that is contacting customers claiming to be the company. The fake page allegedly sends customers friend requests before asking them to provide sensitive personal information as a requirement to enter the chain’s new Drink Up, Work Out giveaway.
The post states that the company’s official page will never request personal information from citizens.
Market Basket closes the statement by stating, “we ask our community to be vigilant and to not provide this information to other Facebook pages. The safety and privacy of our customers is very important to us and we are working diligently to address this concern.”
