The "Primark Goody Bag" voucher giveaway below on Facebook, which claims Primark is celebrating its 51st birthday by giving away gift bags full of goodies, is a scam. Primark has issued a scam alert to shoppers who are being targeted by fake Facebook pages and accounts posing as the retail giant. The clothing retailer is warning that customers have been targeted by a Facebook scam(see below) where fake accounts and pages are being used by scammers to con potential victims out of their information while posing as the chain, offering vouchers and giveaways.
