A scam targeting Aldi shoppers is circulating on social media.

The Facebook post made by an account named "Aldi Store" claims to be Jason Hart, the CEO of Aldi, Inc. and promises that everyone who comments on the post and shares it will receive a Christmas food box.

It includes a link that is not Aldi's website.

The grocery store chain posted on their actual Facebook page on Sunday to notify customers of the scam.

These fake offer scams are common on Facebook and typically instructs shoppers to click a link to a website where they would provide personal information and/or sign up for credit cards or enroll in subscription programs.

You can always look for the verified blue check mark next to the store's page name if you are in doubt.
