Stop Sharing the ALDI Free Groceries Post – It’s A Scam
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Actually, in this case, it DEFINITELY is.
A few of my friends shared this post over the weekend. And a few of their friends commented that the post is likely a hoax, which they acknowledged...and then shared it anyway.

We wish that we didn't have to say it, but it's a scam. We saw people sharing it who claimed that they knew it was a scam, but they shared it anyway, saying, "Well, just in case!"

It shouldn't take long to realize that it's a scam, and PLEASE don't share "just in case." The more you share, the more people think that it's a legitimate page, and the more people who offer up sensitive, personal information.
In other words, do the OPPOSITE of what Nike says.
