SuperValu warns customers to be wary of fake social media page scamming for personal information

Irish supermarket SuperValu has warned customers to be wary of a fake social media page claiming to represent the company.

The page, named "SuperValu Ireland Fans" on Facebook has been pretending to be the supermarket. It is asking for people to click a link and provide personal information.

SuperValu's official page, which has a verified certification on Facebook, has posted a warning about the scam. They have confirmed they will never ask customers to click on any links.

They said: 'We have been made aware that there is a fake page circulating called 'SuperValu Ireland Fans'. We can confirm that we have no affiliation with this page. If you see this Facebook page we would advise you NOT to interact. Do not click on any links or share any personal info. Thank you to those who brought this to our attention. Our official Facebook page will never ask you to click on any links."

Many customers took to the comments to say they had reported the page but that Facebook said it was "not against its community standards". Among the differences they noted was the lack of professional language used on the page.
