Supposed Argos deal for £3 TV is fake

22 January 2026

A supposed deal on Facebook in which people can get a new TV for £3 from Argos for leaving a review or completing a survey is fake.

Posts and adverts have shared details of the offer, with claims it has been successfully redeemed by the mother of a woman who had worked at the retailer, saying: “If you take a short survey you can get an Hisense TV for less than £3.”

The posts share a photo of a box, apparently containing a new 65 inch 4K TV.

But Argos has confirmed to Full Fact that this is not a genuine offer from them.

If an online deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Treat it with caution until you have confirmed it is authentic.

This article is part of our work fact checking potentially false pictures, videos and stories on Facebook. You can read more about this—and find out how to report Facebook content—here. For the purposes of that scheme, we’ve rated this claim as false because this is not a real Argos offer.
