Greggs fans have bad news to hear at the start of the month. Apparently, the free sausage roll offers circulating on Facebook are just made-up stories.
The UK-based bakery currently has no ongoing promotions for this product. However, hundreds of users still shared the fake post in hopes of getting their freebies.
Fake Sausage Roll Offers From Greggs
In an attempt to eat a special and delicious sausage roll from Greggs, a person should first share the promotion on a Facebook feed.
It turns out that this is not true, as the bread maker confirms. According to a report by The Sun, it's just a scam that has spread instantly across social media sites.
The fake promotion says that everyone can get a sausage roll and a drink at Greggs in exchange for "nothing."
"Here at Greggs we wanted to show you all we care by doing something special to start off 2023 as we know times have been tough for a lot of people so we will be rewarding everyone who $hares & ¢omments in the next 24 hours with a free Sausage Roll + Drink which can be picked up at any Greggs," the scam promo reads.
While it sounds true on paper, the fact-checkers at FullFact have verified that this information is misleading, and there are no free sausage roll offers at Greggs at the moment.

Why 'Greggs Fans' Page is Not Believable
A spokesperson from the company says that it's not a "genuine offer" for their customers. One notable sign that it's fake is the "Greggs Fans" page which was found to be created just on November 22, 2022.
When you scroll over the page, you won't see regular posts about the bakery's products. Instead, you will only see two shared posts since the page was made.
Another clue that the free sausage roll offer is bogus is the fact that the promotion has a lot of grammatical errors. When you pay close attention, it has incorrect fonts, symbols, and misspellings.
On Facebook, it's now easier to spot a fake page. If an artist or a page is verified, you will immediately spot a "blue icon" next to it. In the case of the "Greggs fans" page, you won't see anything, which means it's unverified.
