New fraud attempts are constantly appearing. It is often big brands that are exploited. This time it is the Rema 1000 that is exposed.
A recurring thing are so-called “fan pages”, for example “Europris Fans” and “Ikea Fans”, which appear to be real Facebook pages, but are just tricks with the aim of luring you to comment on the page.
Often there are competitions where you can win lucrative prizes.

Several hundred comments
Recently, a Facebook page called “Rema 1000 Fans” was created, which has managed to get 90 followers.
The Facebook page has posted a “competition” in connection with Rema 1000’s birthday. Here they tempt you with special gift bags for 500 pieces.
“To celebrate the 44th anniversary of Rema 1000, we are giving away 500 special gift bags to everyone who wrote “Congratulations with the day” before 22 May 2023. Good luck!” it says on the page.
The post currently has over 700 comments with hopeful Norwegians who want to win.

– Be critical of sources
Rema 1000 has not responded to our inquiries over the weekend, but DinSide spoke to Celina Sjøberg, communications advisor at Rema 1000, about a similar scam before Christmas. She then stated that they are aware of such fraud attempts and that they are not happy that someone is impersonating them.
– We encourage our customers to pay extra close attention, and of course do not want any of our customers to be deceived, she urged at the time.
And, if you are unsure if the Facebook page is real, you can look behind the name of the page. A blue mark means that the page has been verified by Facebook.
– You will not see that on these pages. If you are unsure, be critical of the source. Look up the brand on Facebook and send a direct message, and we can confirm or deny, she continued.
