Cash Fresh Warns Customers About Fake Raffles and Impersonation on Facebook
Table of Contents
summary: Cash Fresh, a Spanish supermarket chain, is warning customers about fraudulent raffles being promoted through fake Facebook profiles impersonating the company. These profiles solicit personal and banking information from winners, a practice Cash Fresh never engages in. Customers are urged too rely solely on the official Cash Fresh Facebook page for legitimate promotions and to report any suspicious activity.
Understanding the Scam
in early january 2026, Cash Fresh announced it was being targeted by scammers creating unofficial Facebook profiles to run fraudulent raffles. These fake pages utilize the Cash Fresh branding and imagery to deceive users into believing they have won prizes, typically vehicles. The scam operates by requesting users to share the raffle post with their contacts, amplifying its reach, and ultimately attempting to obtain sensitive personal and financial data.
This tactic isn’t new. The same photographs used in the current Cash fresh scam where previously used in a similar fraudulent raffle impersonating the hiperdino supermarket chain, as reported by Maldita.es in December 2025.
Identifying the Fake Profiles
Several key indicators can help identify these fraudulent profiles:
* Profile Creation Date: The official Cash Fresh Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/CashFreshAhorro) was created in 2018. Scam profiles, like the one identified in January 2026 (https://www.facebook.com/people/Cash-Fresh/61582621624233/?sk=about_profile_transparency), are frequently enough recently created.
* Lack of Contact Information: Fake profiles typically lack legitimate contact details.
* Limited Content: Scam pages frequently enough feature only a single post promoting the fraudulent raffle, lacking the diverse content found on official pages.
* Missing Legal Bases: Legitimate raffles and promotions are governed by clear legal terms and conditions, which are absent from these scam posts.
How to Protect Yourself
Cash fresh emphasizes that all official promotions and raffle winners will always be announced on their official Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/CashFreshAhorro). Cash Fresh will never ask for sensitive personal or banking information to claim a prize.
Here’s how to stay safe:
* Verify the Source: Always double-check the URL and profile information to ensure you are interacting with the official Cash Fresh Facebook page.
