Both posts show photos of PlayStation 5 boxes in a store with an Argos sign advertising the consoles for £1.78. 

A spokesperson for Argos told Full Fact that: “These are not genuine offers.

One of the posts says: “Click the button and visit our website to order”. But the link goes to a webpage that looks like Argos but doesn’t have the official Argos web address and…
