Shoppers have been warned that fraudsters are offering fake £1,000 vouchers to reel in unsuspecting victims. The scam emails, shared by Action Fraud, show promises of shopping vouchers for leading supermarkets Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons.
With Christmas around the corner, some people may be enticed with the offers of money. They ask recipients to click on a link in the email to enter a draw.
However, victims will receive no voucher and could end up having their personal information or their finances stolen as this link may contain malware. Action Fraud claim that they have received 277 reports of this type of scam email in just one week.
