In April 2026, Facebook users shared an alleged special giveaway from Tractor Supply Co. offering riding mowers for less than $10. According to posts, the U.S. rural lifestyle retailer asked consumers to simply fill out a survey to obtain a mower from the previous year's stock. Brands featured included Bad Boy, Cub Cadet and John Deere.
In short, this was a scam. Tractor Supply is not selling riding mowers for less than $10. Scammers misused the company's name and logo to victimize consumers, including hiding monthly subscription fees in the terms and conditions documentation of the fake giveaway's final checkout websites. Those scam websites, none affiliated with Tractor Supply, lacked contact information — making difficult consumers' attempts to cancel purchases.
Scammers have for years shared Facebook posts posing as major U.S. brands while promoting survey scams leading to checkout pages with hidden recurring fees. Consumers victimized by such hidden subscription scams should call their bank or credit card company to report fraud, attempt to reverse charges and block future monthly fees. Consumers can also report fraud via the Federal Trade Commission website.
Snopes contacted Tractor Supply to ask if the company wished to share a statement about the scam and will update this article if we receive further information.
How the Tractor Supply scam works
On April 16, a Facebook user with a brand new account posted (archived) information about the Tractor Supply scam giveaway. The post included photos of a John Deere riding mower and a comment telling readers to click a link to learn more.

The post read as follows, with other posts promoting the same script with photos and text for Bad Boy (archived) and Cub Cadet (archived) mowers:
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT buy a lawn mower this season because... My son works at Tractor Supply, and he told me something most people don't know: they're selling off last year's inventory, and if you take a short survey, you can get a Jоhn Dееrе E100 riding lawn mower for less than $10. I used the link, purchased my mower, and have attached photos as proof. I'll leave a link in the comments where you can take the survey. I don't know how long this deal will last, so don't delay. Feel free to share this or forward it to anyone who might be interested in this offer.
The John Deere giveaway post featured a comment link leading to a survey on the promoxbvo.store scam website. A domain record search showed a user registered the domain recently, on April 3.
The survey web page on promoxbvo.store led to the luckydiscountwinner.com scam website. That website asked users to enter their personal information and credit card details, promising only a charge of $13.95. However, the terms and conditions described monthly fees of $54.95 for

The luckydiscountwinner.com "Contact Us" tab did not contain any contact information, nor did any email addresses or phone numbers appear in other legal documentation.
The Bad Boy riding mower scam Facebook post eventually directed to the discountsbox.click scam website, which did not display any links for terms and conditions, nor did the web page show contact information. The Cub Cadet Facebook post led to a "404" error.
