Lidl black Friday deals - possible scam?

[graduate_owner]

I regularly get emails from Lidl telling me about the latest offers. The most recent email makes no mention of DIY kit. However I have found a Lidl advert with huge discounts (e.g. the plasma cutter with built in compressor for £60). The thing is, the headings are all in French, whilst the descriptions are in English. It certainly looks too good to be true - and we all know what that means. So just wondering, has anyone had any dealings with these offers? Or is it yet another scam?
Should we all be warned?

I saw that - pretty sure it's a scam.

I can’t see why the headings are in French but description in English as that doesn’t make sense , a very large red flag

Yes, it does seem too good to be true, especially since these offers are not included in the regular emails I get from Lidl.
And the web address is www.superflagship.ru - doesn't sound like Lidl to me.

I am constantly getting scam email, claiming to be from, amongst others, boots, sainsburys, the aa, shein, screwfix, i've just got used to hovering over the sender's name, and when the email address comes up and invariably has absolutely nothing to do with the sender's name I just block the sender

Yes I've had it as well and just binned it as it didn't smell right.

Pops up on Facebook. Sponsored by 'Season Deals' and the parkside.com address links to a Canadian cleaning products site. Clearly cobblers.

I got a Lidl special offer for a 42" Milwaukee roll cabinet and top box for £80ish. Just too ridiculous for words.
