Mother’s Day is right around the corner and it’s the one day of the year you have the chance to show your mom how much you love her.
But you should beware: There is a scam spreading around Facebook offering a $50 Lowe’s coupon to celebrate Mother’s Day.
It turns out this is not another fake discount/coupon – it’s a phishing scam to get your information online.
The Lynchburg Police Department alerted the public to this scam and we want to do the same for you.
