The Facebook page “ProductCommunity” claims that Lidl and Aldi are looking for testers.
Certain Facebook pages repeatedly claim that well-known companies such as Aldi and Lidl are looking for testers to evaluate the quality of new goods.
Facebook page creators repeatedly use third-party identities to organize alleged competitions. They give the impression that they are official Facebook pages of well-known companies that have products to give away out of the blue.

However, the fact that testers are being sought is only a pretext. The site also offers neither a proper imprint nor any other information about the organizer. “ProductCommunity” has only existed since November 21, 2019. Facebook users themselves rate the page as fake. The tester search leads to data collectors.
Data brings money
Unfortunately, the actual purpose of these sites is limited to one thing: collecting data, selling magazine subscriptions and sending spam emails!
Even if you take part and think to yourself “Oh, if I play along, it won’t hurt anyone” – data always brings money and these sites will continue to exist in the future. Facebook pages that deceive you and make money from your personal data. Even a mere like maintains this type of page and harms you and your Facebook friends.
