Fake Currys smartphone offer circulating online
A Facebook post claiming those over 25 can claim a free phone from Currys by completing a survey is not genuine.
It says: “My daughter works at Currys and just told me about a summer promotion: if you're over 25, you can complete a short survey and get the Samsung S25 Ultra almost free.”
A spokesperson for Currys confirmed this is not a genuine offer from the company.
A comment on the post links to a website with the Currys logo that asks for personal details, but this is not the retailer’s official website.
