Home Depot Giveaway Scam



Another day another giveaway scam.

Do not share these links.  Home Depot (and other companies like Pizza Pizza, Walmart, Molson's, etc...) are not giving away free products or large sums of money to everyone who shares some link.
These links often request information that can be used to either identity steal, send viruses or tag you for future scams as they view you as gullible. 

You'll note that the font on the preview link has odd accents.  It also has a weird website with "B-TSXQUIL(dot)com"  That is obviously not a Home Depot website.

So to counter the person who posted the reply that it is arguably worth a try:  Ummm, no it's not worth a try.
