Bostonians: Act Now or Forever Regret Not Claiming 3,000 Free Hot Pockets (UPDATED)

Look at this tweet from photographer Scott Eisen:

3000 boxes of free hot pockets? Is it the second coming?? – https://t.co/UAJHf33D9j

— Scott Eisen (@scotteisenphoto) March 1, 2017

It links to a Craigslist ad that says:

Hi just recently sold my convience [sic] store and I have 3,000 boxes of hot pockets and I just don’t want them to go to waste. Please call me and come grab them.

If you live in Boston, go here now. This is not a drill. But, be warned. Mediaite editor Adam Pribila made the following discovery and shared it in Slack…

Go forth!

UPDATE – 07:50 p.m.: We reached out to the number on Craigslist and they told us it was “a big hoax” and “a friend played a prank” on them. They have been receiving calls all day, and they do not have any free Hot Pockets. They went on to say that since this got so much attention, they have reached out to the makers of Hot Pockets (Nestlé) to see if they can do something for charity.
