Does a post on Facebook really offer a "free meat bundle box"? No, that's not true: The post does not provide an actual location for those wanting a free meat bundle box. If people click the link promoted in the post, a series of web pages aim to trick social media users into sharing sensitive personal information. The links send users to unrelated advertisements that collect email addresses and personal details and offer a surprise box and not a meat bundle.
The claim appeared in a post (archived here) where it was published on August 22, 2025. It opened:
Free Meat Bundle Box say Me' if you are interested. Pork, Beef, Turkey, Chicken 🍗🍖📢 and tomorrow at 3pm, one box per person limited stock
This is what the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:

The Facebook account that posted the offer lists their location as Masvingo, a city located in Zimbabwe, not in the United States, as this screenshot shows:

The link in the post (archived here) takes users to a website that claims to provide "free human support" with links to food pantry/meat boxes, free furniture, rent and utility assistance plus $5,000, free clothes and free yardsale events.
The link for free food pantry/meat boxes takes you to a web site for Sampleshunterusa.com (archived here) which asks for personal information including name, date of birth and gender in order to get a free mystery box sample, not a free meat box. Here is a screenshot of what you are asked:

This is a strain of "bait and switch" or "free food" posts on social media. A search for "Free Meat Bundle Box" on Facebook returns many similar posts, none of which actually give information where a free meat bundle box can be obtained. The clicking continues with more questions, including "do you have medical debt" and "which season do you like more" If you keep clicking you may be offered a deal on a free iphone.
Eventually, the operators of the web site have collected a lot of personal information about you, but you'll never actually get a real offer for free food.
