Facebook Scam Promises Cheap Aldi “Meat Boxes,” Steals Payment Info Instead

A fake Facebook offer claims you can get a cheap Aldi “meat box,” but it is a trick to collect your personal and payment details. People who click the ad or enter information may have money stolen or their accounts misused.


Who Is at Risk

Anyone who sees or shares the offer on Facebook and enters personal or payment information is at risk.

What to Watch For

Watch ads for Aldi on social media, especially posts asking you to pay or enter details to claim a prize or box.

What to Do

Do not click the offer or enter any information; go directly to Aldi’s official website or app to check whether the deal is real.
