A new scam is hitting TikTok fast, tricking users with claims they can grab a free £750 Tesco voucher by visiting a dodgy website called TesOffer.com. Posted by so-called “disgruntled former employees,” these offers are stirring panic – but don’t be fooled, it’s all bogus!
The TikTok Tesco Freebie Scam Uncovered
This latest con follows a common pattern seen across social media. Users are lured by tempting freebies but end up giving away personal and financial info on shady sites. TesOffer.com pushes victims to share sensitive details in exchange for the non-existent vouchers.
Scam Red Flags: How to Spot Fake Tesco Offers
- Fake Facebook Pages – Scammers create unofficial pages like “Tesco fans” without the blue tick. Tesco’s real page is facebook.com/Tesco. Anything else? Avoid it!
- Dodgy Posts – Watch out for poor spelling and grammar. Scam posts often look sloppy and unprofessional.
- Suspicious Links – If you’re being told to like, share, or click links asking for your private info, it’s almost certainly a scam.
What Tesco Says About the Scam
A Tesco spokesperson told Which?: “Tesco UK only has one Facebook page. Any other page is potentially a scam, and social media users should not click on them.” Tesco confirmed they DO NOT run free voucher giveaways on Facebook and have reported the fake pages to the platform.
