Facebook posts promoting a food giveaway contest by the Kroger supermarket chain are drawing plenty of buzz on social media. The problem is they are a hoax, the industry giant says.
The promotion was posted on a fake Facebook account labeled kroger.com and includes photos of actual Kroger stores. Kroger's real website is kroger.com, but it's Facebook account is simply Kroger.
It would be a great deal if it were true. It isn't. The true origins of the hoax were not immediately clear. Kroger operates grocery stores under Kroger and other names, among them Dillons and Harris Teeter, across most of the nation.
