United KingdomFull Fact has debunked a false claim circulating on Facebook that Screwfix is offering a Makita drill set for under £10. The posts falsely stated that Screwfix is running an exclusive promotion where customers could purchase a 'display model' Makita LXT Combo Kit, typically priced over £269.99, for just £8.55 by completing a survey. These posts linked to a website that mimicked Screwfix's branding but was not the company's official site. Screwfix confirmed the offer was not legitimate. The article highlights the prevalence of such fake retail promotions on social media and advises users to verify deals through official company channels.
