Dunkin Donuts has a warning about an e-mail scam going around – Tampa Bay\’s 10
Dunkin Donuts says gift card offers from a Florida company are a scam.
The coffee giant says that e-mail messages are promising a free $25 gift card.
The company issued the following statement on it’s website:
“A fraudulent email message promising a Free $25 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card is being forwarded around the internet. Dunkin’ Donuts is not affiliated with these offers, does not sponsor nor endorse this activity and is unable to fulfill these offers. We apologize if you have received such an email with this fraudulent offer.”
Dunkin’ spokesman Andrew Mastrangelo tells the Boston Herald that this is “clearly fraudulent.”
The company has sent cease-and-desist orders to USA Research Forums, a Boynton Beach, Florida firm that Dunkin Donuts alleges is the culprit.
Mastrangelo says that the company wants to “make sure our customers are protected.”
A telephone number wasn’t available for USA Research Forums.
