"50% Off at All Lowe's Stores - Exclusive Coupon"

The Facebook post and website below: "50% off at All Lowe's Stores - Exclusive Coupon," are a Facebook like-farming and survey scam. The scam will attempt to trick Facebook users into clicking on it by claiming that they can receive 50% off a "All Lowe's stores exclusive" coupon at the website: "www.lowes-stores.com-coupons2016.com". But, the fake and fraudulent website has nothing to do with Lowe's, and is only a scam to get Facebook users to comment on, "like", share the same deceptive website or fake post with their Facebook friends, and complete surveys. Lowe's Companies, Inc. is an American company that operates a chain of retail home improvement and appliance stores in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
