CLAIM
A link attributed to Nestlé’s Nescafe claims that after filling a mini survey, customers will win free coffee machine and three coffee packs. The link further alleges that 278 coffee machines are available.
The Quint received a query about the claim made in the link via its WhatsApp helpline.
TRUE OR FALSE?
The claim is as dubious as the link. Nestlé India spokesperson told the The Quint that the link is fake.
WHAT WE FOUND OUT
The link asks the users to answer three questions:
1. Long, short or medium coffee
2. Only or with milk?
3. Will you suggest Nescafe to family and friends?
After answering all the questions, the link asks you to share the message with five groups or contacts on WhatsApp. Even if the answer to the last question is ‘No,’ it still says that the user has qualified to avail the offer.
Further, spokesperson of Nestlé India told The Quint that the company has not issued any such offer.
