30% off all stock for Family and Friends

Detailed Analysis
A voucher currently circulating via email and online promises the recipient a 30% discount on all stock at Dan Murphy's, an Australian liquor store chain now owned by Woolworths. The voucher comes in the form of an attached .pdf and includes Dan Murphy's logos and seemingly official terms and conditions of use.
However, the voucher is fake and was not issued by Dan Murphy's. The company will not redeem the voucher. Dan Murphy's has published a notice on its website warning customers about the hoax voucher:
WARNING! VOUCHER HOAX
To avoid any disappointment, please be aware that a hoax flyer is being
circulated that did not originate from Dan Murphy’s or Woolworths Ltd.
The offer states that family and friends can receive 30% off all stock between 25-28 November.
THIS OFFER IS NOT VALID
It is currently unclear who is responsible for the creation and distribution of the fake voucher.
